A woman has been hauled before a court after leaving her pets alone for so long that one of them died - before being eaten by the remaining starving animals.
Leann McConnell admitted leaving the tabby cat, who she called "Fat S***", with another cat and a dog in a home in Liverpool for weeks without enough food or water. The other cat, called Tilly and a terrier named Chunk, both then ate parts of the animal's dead body due to hunger, the ECHO reports.
McConnell appeared before Liverpool Magistrates’ Court this week and admitted multiple counts of animal neglect. Peter Mitchell, prosecuting for the RSPCA, said McConnell left the animals in late October last year and they were discovered the following month. The name of the cat which died was referenced in court documents as "Fat S***".
