On Friday the 3rd of November I heard my 1 year old cat had been hurt. When I got home she couldn’t walk and it looked like a broken leg so my husband took her to the Vets where they kept her overnight.

On Saturday I got a call to say the X-ray showed she had an air rifle bullet in her paw and it needed removing. I can’t believe there are people out there who would do this especially so close to our home.

There are lots of kids around Priestman Road area and it could’ve easy been one of them who got hit. Thankfully lucky is ok but I’d like to warn people out there if you let your cats out please be aware of mindless idiots around.
