On the news just now:

 

The RSPCA has appealed for help to trace a man caught on CCTV in Kent swinging a cat by its tail.

The man was recorded outside the Camden Arms pub in Ramsgate at 08:15 BST on 29 October.

Insp Caroline Doe, of the RSPCA, said she was shocked and appalled by the attack and was hoping someone would come forward to identify the man.

"This was a very violent, nasty attack. The cat would have gone through an enormous amount of stress and fear."

The cat, called Mowgli, was not injured in the incident.

Mowgli's owner, Michelle Buchannan, said: "I just don't understand the mentality of people that would do something that cruel."

My cat was booted that hard he nearly died and because it was high winds that night I could'nt hear him cry for me when I was out looking, I found him over the wall the next morning..it took him a long time to go out again after he recovered..and still now he's terrified of strangers and even cowers from me if he see's me outside the house....

Aww stonks, that is so sad. I really don't understand how anyone can be so cruel.

The Telegraph website says:

A man suspected of swinging a terrified cat by its tail can be identified for the first time today as 20-year-old Riain Richards after he handed himself into police.

Officers and RSPCA inspectors had identified Richards as a person they wanted to interview in connection with the daylight attack on Mowgli on the streets of Ramsgate, Kent but could not locate him.

Just hours after the 20 year-old was urged to hand himself in, Richards presented himself to Margate police station shortly after 9am on Friday.

He was accompanied by his solicitor after RSCPA inspectors and police officers failed to find him at his home address, just around the corner from where the incident occured.He is currently being questioned by detectives and animal welfare officers. He has not been charged.
