Animal welfare inspectors found one cat eating another’s body after their owner abandoned them.
Leanne McConnell, 31, had left the cats, who she named “Fat S***” and “Tilly”, alone in her home for so long that one of them died of thirst and starvation. The other cat and a dog, whom she called “Chunks”, were found emaciated and distressed inside a house in Norris Green last year.
A vet said the animals had been allowed to suffer after McConnell left them without enough food or water.
