Teenagers 'kicked cat to death'
The police and RSPCA in Kent say they want to talk to four youths seen near a house in Tenterden where a 13-year-old cat was attacked while taking a siesta on the drive.
“Buzz Lightyear” was enjoying the evening sun outside his home in Haffenden Road on Monday when it's believed he was assaulted.
The male Birman cat sustained two breaks in his left leg, a breastbone broken in two places, internal bleeding and a bruised jaw.
The vet who examined him said the injuries were consistent with being kicked. Buzz had to be put to sleep because of his injuries.
Buzz’s owner was at home and, hearing a scream, jumped up to see one of the teenagers by his drive.
His neighbour later confirmed that four youths, aged around ten to 13, had been walking down the street at the time.
