A professional boxer has left his neighbor disabled for life after attacking her because her cat defecated outside his front door. This is Moscow, Russia. The viscous man is Aleksandr Hokhlov. He is 26-years-of-age. The lady is Oksana Muronets. This appears to be another ‘cat hating story’ but unusually from Russia. Russians like their cats.
The monstrous person punched the lady to the ground and then stamped on her head. She was walking home from work. When the woman is on the ground, apparently, unconscious, he punches her again and again in the face.
A passerby saw the whole thing but was too scared to intervene. Hokhlov told him to f**k off.
The witness called the police. The lady suffered concussion and other injuries including serious head injuries. The hospital says she will never recover. She has had several operations.
Hokhlov has admitted the attack (he had to as there was a first hand witness). The attack was the culmination of months of disputes between the two over the lady’s cat.
The lady has been brutally and criminally attacked. However, if we are honest, I wonder if she could have done something to have avoided the dispute. Perhaps not.
Perhaps the cat was simply an outdoor cat and defecated outside, which is what happens all over the planet. I suspect that there is more to this. It is ridiculous that it has come to this. So sad for both and of course the cat. What will happen to the lady’s cat? This could be the end for her cat.
Outdoor cats do seem to spark off disputes sometimes but it does take a cat hater to spark it off. For example TNR programs of feral cats often cause disputes but the people involved in them are actually benefiting the neighborhood because they care managing feral cats and humanely reducing their population size.
Neighbors should be pleased by that. They often are not, sadly. But this is different. There are perhaps two major sources of dispute between neighbors over free-roaming cats (a) defecating and urinating in the neighbor’s garden and (b) managed feral cat colonies.

I guess it’s only fair. Otherwise the boxer, any of his family, any of his neighbors; could have suffered from irreparable brain-damage, memory-loss, schizophrenia, autism, epilepsy, ADHD, blindness, a 2-fold increase in suicide, or any of the other lifelong maladies now proved to have come from cats’ Toxoplasma gondii parasites in 70% of all free-roaming cats’ feces. Not to mention dying from cats’ Toxoplasma gondii parasite if he should ever have his immune-system compromised by disease, chemo or immunosuppressive therapies. Seems fair. Not to mention the 3dozen+ other deadly zoonotic diseases that stray cats are spreading to all humans and all other wildlife and other cats today. Seems more than fair.
I don’t know about Russian law, but in the UK judges will often hand out harsher sentences to professional boxers, martial arts experts etc., involved in acts of physical violence because their hands are rightly considered to be lethal weapons. Hokhlov knew exactly the kind of injuries he was inflicting and the damage they would cause. If the police had not turned up he would have continued until that women was dead.
Yes, nice observation. He is probably pissed off with all kinds of things unassociated with the cat and lady. The cat poo crystallised his anger.
Hokhlov clearly has anger management issues and people like that are often ticking time-bombs just awaiting any excuse to lash out. (Note how he also threatened the passerby.) It’s why they always pick victims they know are not in a position to defend themselves. They never take on anyone bigger or stronger than themselves.
That poor woman may never recover from her injuries, so I hope he gets a lengthy prison sentence for this senseless act of violence.
My sentiments entirely. Not sure what truly happened. It is probably more than the press say it is but…this is sick and tragic. If he truly hated cats he would have hurt the cat. That would have solved his problem. Perhaps not. Perhaps she feeds outdoor cats. There are a lot of stray cats in Russia it seems. We are not getting the full detail I believe.
A truly sad story, Michael. Being that I really don’t know the circumstances surrounding the incident, I’m not sure what to say other than I hope he got some kind of punishment for disabling the lady for life. What a sick, sick world we live in. . .
