Video footage has captured the moment a man violently began slapping his pet cat in the street. The cruel attack was caught on CCTV, with the black and white cat, named Bashik, now being cared for by the RSPCA and looking for a new, loving home.
Artur Zakowicz, of Brook Street, in Chester, has been prosecuted by the charity and has now been banned from keeping animals for five years. The incident happened on Charles Street, in Chester, close to his home, reports Cheshire Live.
Zakowicz, 46, was seen on the CCTV footage, taken on March 24, attacking his cat, grabbing him by his skin and slapping him violently six times with his hand while pushing him to the ground. He then picked up the black and white cat, called Bashik, roughly by the skin on his back before the pet managed to escape.
