A council spokesperson has also revealed there have been nine dog on cat attacks since April.

Sinn Fein Cllr Noel McGeown said the senseless mutilation of a cat in Kilwilke was ‘deplorable’.

He added: “Pets provide company and comfort for their owners who can become very attached to them and this incident will be a matter of grave concern for the many caring owners who live in the area.

“That anyone would torture and kill a defenceless animal defies belief and I would encourage anyone with information about this incident to pass it on to the USPCA.”
