Including Holly Madison in the picture above actually manages to make this story less retarded than it really is. Basically, Criss Angel cat-napped some other Vegas performer's cat and refuses to give it back. TMZ says:
In a strongly-worded letter fired off to Angel, Beacher accuses Angel of jacking the animal from a friend who was supposed to be watching the cat while Beacher mourned the death of his father.
Beacher claims Angel not only refuses to give it back -- but worse yet, he says the "Mindfreak" taunted him about the cat on the phone with comments like, "I took your cat ... he lives with me now ... the cat no longer likes you ... the cat and I have become close friends."
Now Beacher demands the safe return of the cat -- plus "the value of the use of his cat during the period of detention."

I think it's pretty obvious that the cat was a victim of one of Criss' practice illusions and is now dead. It's the only reason I can think of that he wouldn't give it back. Oh, except that little tidbit where he's an f'n lunatic.
