FOUND: Cat with its head jammed into a tin can!

Tweet

My husband rang me this morning and said he had found a cat with a tin can jammed onto it's head. We really love animals (we have two dogs and three other cats all rescued!). Anyway, he found the cat wondering aimlessly across and main road (I have no idea how it was not knocked down). He rang me and I got in contact with the local vet that we always go to, while he was driving the cat. He said there was a hole cut into the end of the can where the cats nose was pressed up to. I was totally horrafied and really upset. He got to the vet and they managed to pull it's head out. The poor thing has a badly scratched nose and a few little cuts around it's neck. It is so scared right now, so we are keeping it in our shead for the moment because we don't want our animals to go near it at the moment and to give it a rest. It was also starving hungrey and thirsty. God only knows how long it had been left like that. What's getting me is really, who would do this to a little cute black cat? The vet was saying it looked like hole was bashed in before it was placed on the cats head because it was like hammered from the inside. Was it some stoned teenagers playing a sick joke? Or was it a previous owner trying to get rid of it? Either way, a really cruel, sick thing to do, any time of year, espically during the christmas holidays. I hope what goes around comes around for that person.
