    I am a cat lover too having 3 of the delightful moggies. I second the other posters who have advised to deal with it offically via the police, RSPCA and the CPL. I wouldn't advise taking matters into your own hands even though you might feel like doing it.

    Sending lots of hugs to you and know that your cat will be looked after now she is over Rainbow Bridge. :A
    Mortgage free as of 10/02/2015. Every brick and blade of grass belongs to meeeee. :j
  • What a terrible thing to do and how totally barbaric. I hope you manage to find the guy with the evidence and the PDSA can do do something here, and I'm really sorry you've lost your cat.
    Wow, I got 3 *, when did that happen :j:T:p
    It is not illegal to open another persons mail unless you intend to commit fraud - this is frequently incorrectly posted:)
    I live in my head - I find it's safer there:p

    The RSPCA and the courts will take this very seriously, it's quite possible this scumbag will go to jail for this, here are some recent cases that resulted in jail:

    John Martell (40) of Mulberry Court, Pendleton kicked, punched and stamped on his dog because he was having `a really bad day' was jailed for 12 weeks. On 7/11/08 at Salford magistrates Martell was also banned from ever keeping or owning another animal as a result of the brutal attack, which was captured on CCTV.

    Sean Bushell-Clarke (26) of Bulford Road, Liverpool, was jailed after stabbing his dog to death and burying him in a shallow grave in his back garden. On 9/5/08 Liverpool magistrates sent him to prison for four months and banned from keeping animals for five years. Bushell-Clarke admitted punching the four-month-old puppy about 10 times before stabbing him in his back.



    William David Streeter (28) of Cloyfin Park, Coleraine, Belfast viciously beat and strung up a one-year-old golden retriever in a terrifying attack spanning two days. At North Antrim magistrates on 28/5/08 he admitted seven counts of animal cruelty and a further count of threatening to kill his wife. He also pleaded guilty to threatening to kill Ms McMonagle two days later. On 18/7/08 he was sentenced to six months in jail. As part of his sentence, he was banned from having an animal for 10 years.

    But they are all against dogs, Can you find any similar against cats.

    I am not trying to dismiss it, as it is a terrible thing to happen (we have a cat and when I told my 13 year old he was shocked), just dont want to get the OP hopes up of a jail sentence, altho that would be good.

    I'm so sorry to hear about this incident, I'd report it to the police and I would also speak to the local newspaper

    Good idea to get the local press on the case - don't let this evil man get away with it.

    Im not sure if its legal or not but I would be down at that building site taking photos of as many of those builders as I could in the hope that the witness could identify the one that did it.That way you can show the photo to the company as well once the police etc have investigated.

    Cat or not that is a member of your family and in my eyes murder. I hope this man is punished. Its truly disgusting and I feel for your family. If anyone did that to my little girl I would not be accountable.

    & send the photo to the local paper too.

    I am so v sorry to hear about your loss & outraged.:mad:

    How very very evil. In fact, Id think most of the other men on the site if they saw this happen would feel totally sickened by it so dont give up asking for witnesses.

    How on earth could anyone have done that to a defenceless animal. You must be devastated.

    Please update us on this.

    ie they may all be a group of vicious losers who may view life cheaply & may not even be working legally:eek: ..... Do consider asking the police (or newspaper) to ensure the employer is throughly vetted for his employment processes

    I really hope this man is locked up. If he'd do something like thaat to a cat on a whim, what is he like in his everyday life? He might be quite a violent person.

    Do sorry to read what's happened. I love cats and some people seem to really misunderstand the joy they bring to us. How horrible for you, I hope that the RSPCA/police etc. can help you and that this man is brought to justice.
    Everything will be ok in the end, if everything's not ok then it's not the end :)
