UNITED KINGDOM – The RSPCA are currently hunting cruel thugs who wrapped a cat in hazard tape.
The male ginger cat was found covered in the black and yellow sticky tape.
It completely covered his mouth and nose with only its ears left sticking out.
The RSPCA are appealing for help to locate whoever carried out the “deliberate” attack in Romford, Essex.
RSPCA inspector Adam Jones stated: “This is clearly a deliberate act as the tape was weaved between his ears – this could not have occurred by the cat simply getting tangled.
“We would like to get any information on who has done this. It was clearly a distressing incident for the poor cat.”
“He could not see while he had his head wrapped in tape and we are thankful that he was found when he was, as he could have easily wandered in front of a car and been killed.”
“We’d also like to locate the owner as he is very friendly and appears to have been cared for before this incident occurred.”
“He is a very affectionate cat and is getting a lot of attention at the vets. Sadly he is not wearing a collar and is not microchipped, so we have no way of finding his owner, who is possibly fraught with worry.”
Read these characteristics which almost all cat lovers have in common:
INTROVERTED AND SENSITIVE
It’s the nature of cats that they are not friends with everybody, and the same trait can be seen in their owners too. Usually, they live alone and are happy with their independent lifestyle. They are introverts but are comfortable hanging around with other people. However, they would need some me-time to relax and recharge.
CAT LOVERS LEAN TO LEFT
It has been observed that people with liberal political leanings prefer cats over dogs. You might be a liberal dog lover or a conservative cat owner; if you’re a liberal, you love cats and vice versa.
CAT OWNERS ARE OPEN-MINDED
Five traits – conscientiousness, neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, and openness are often seen in most cat lovers. As compared to dog owners, people who have cats as pets are more open and therefore, have greater artistic creativity.
ATTENTION SEEKERS
Just like their pets, cat lovers seek attention from people around them. They like to be the centre of all conversations. At times, cat owners rely on their pets for emotional support.
THEY RESPECT CATS MORE THAN ANYONE
Cat people respect cats more than humans, in general. The saddest sight for a cat lover is to see the animal on the streets without a home. Cat lovers are often seen making a special effort to rescue or rehabilitate homeless cats.
