Cat found choked to death with cable tie in ‘vile’ abuse

A cat owner found the lifeless body of her pet with a cable tie wrapped around its neck.

Heartbroken Lisa Walker, 52, came home to find her tabby Tiger-Lily with the lethal plastic device pulled tight around her throat.

The devastated owner is convinced her 13-year-old cat was brutally choked to death by someone who wished to cause the animal serious harm.

Lisa, from St George, Bristol, said: ‘Some evil, vile and nasty person has killed our beautiful cat.

‘I went to the garage to put some washing on. That’s when I found her dead in her bed.

‘The cable tie around her neck was so tight we could hardly get the scissors underneath to cut it off. We had to use a dog’s nail clippers instead.

‘I find it so hard to believe that there are people out there that can do this to a defenceless animal.’

Lisa believes Tiger-Lily was killed between 7am and 9.30am on September 10.

She made the grisly discovery after returning home from work to check on her daughter who was unwell.

Lisa, who took Tiger-Lily to the vet to be cremated the same day, added: ‘She was 13, but she was like a young cat. You would have never guessed she was that old.

‘She couldn’t have been put there as the garage was locked. We have a cat flap. She must have managed to make her way home.’

Lisa has spoken out to warn others to be vigilant and vented her anger towards the person responsible for her cat’s death on Facebook.

An RSPCA spokesperson said: ‘This sounds very upsetting and our thoughts are with the owner of the cat.

‘Anybody with information can contact the RSPCA’s cruelty line on 0300 1234 999.’
