Official George Bengal says Davis admitted to taping up the cat from neck to tail after he spotted it in his yard Sept. 21.
The gray tabby was nicknamed Sticky by animal welfare workers. It was dehydrated and had to be sedated while the tape was cut off its fur.
Animal welfare workers are still looking for Sticky's owner.
Davis faces up to two years in prison and a minimum $1,000 fine if convicted.
A phone number for Davis could not immediately be located. It was unclear if he had an attorney.
