A cat owner issued an urgent warning after her pet was "shot at" with a pellet gun.
Abigail Coulson's pet cat Flake came home with a "weird lump" on his leg that felt "gristly". What didn't appear to be an abscess, Abi took Flake - short for Snowflake - to the vet.
It was believed that the two-year-old pet had been "shot at" with a pellet gun, with the pellet having travelled under his skin to the front of his leg. With just weeks before Christmas, this news horrified Abi, from Rock Ferry, who immediately become "concerned".
