A pet cat was found cruelly hanged by a washing line in Manchester in what is believed to be a deliberate act, the RSPCA has reported.
The body of the 10-year-old black and white cat, called Jack, was recovered from the back garden of a property in Northcote Avenue in Wythenshawe on Tuesday, June 21.
The RSPCA said that the line had been tied from a fence to the lower branch of a tree and then wrapped around the cat’s neck three times before being knotted up.
The animal charity is investigating the circumstances surrounding how Jack was killed. Distraught owner, Tracy McCormick, was called to her neighbours’ home where the harrowing discovery was made.
