Pet owners have been urged to be vigilant after a Mumbles cat suffered two horrific rifle attacks. A three-year-old moggy, called Deri, has been shot on two separate occasions.
Following the attacks, Deri's owner, Samantha Mansi, has joined charity Cats Protection's calls for air guns to be licensed in Wales. She said her feline friend was lucky to survive the attacks.
"After the first incident, Deri came running into the house and hid himself away," said Samantha. "I had a look at him and could see blood on his side so rushed him to the vet who took an x-ray and could see he’d been shot. It just missed his vital organs and the vet said it was not possible to remove it, so the pellet is still inside him."
