A loving cat owner says she was stunned to find out her “little furry baby” had been walking around with a bullet in its head for six years. Zosia the cat - who actually lost an eye in the incident six years ago which vets assumed was caused by a cat fight, is now months away from death after the bullet from an air rifle released toxins in her head, owner Natalia Jastrowska said.
The bullet was discovered following an X-ray last week which vets carried out because they believed Zosia, aged nine, was showing signs of cognitive impairment. Natalia says it was then vets told her that it is likely Zosia’s lost eye was caused by the bullet - which they found had come from an air rifle.
Natalia, from Milford Haven, told WalesOnline: “Zosia must have been around three years of age when she arrived home with her injured right eye. We took her to the vets right away and their diagnosis was a cat attack.
