Cat shot dead in North Yorkshire
An investigation has started after a cat was shot dead in North Yorkshire.
The cat was hit with pellets from a BB gun at least ten times on 11 October in Topcliffe. It follows a similar shooting of a cat in the previous month.
The cat in that case survived after a treatment from vets for a fractured leg.

If you can identify those responsible to come forward and contact the police or Crimestoppers straight away.
