Jesus Calderon-Franco was sentenced Friday after pleading no contest to killing the kitten Nov. 30, The San Francisco Chronicle reported Saturday.
Calderon-Franco, a Mexican national, had been drinking and became enraged when he saw his roommate's 4-year-old daughter had drawn on the bathroom door of their apartment, said Steve Wagstaffe, chief deputy district attorney.
In testimony, the girl's uncle said he saw Calderon-Franco grab the kitten by the neck, squeeze it, throw it outside and then stomp on it. A necropsy showed the kitten, named Pucci, died of multiple fractures.
