A CAT owner was horrified after her beloved pet was used as target practice by someone with an air rifle. Clare Borras discovered her pet The King – named after Elvis Presley – had a pellet stuck in his back, just above his hip.Luckily, he was not seriously injured. Clare said: “He’s been shot with what I believe is an air rifle pellet that embedded into his skin. No one accidentally hits a cat so someone has done this on purpose, someone has used him as target practice. “He doesn’t go very far because he’s young and has just been neutered, I suspect someone local did it, it’s a really s t thing to do. I wasn’t going to report it to the police until my brother made a point that there could have been multiple incidents of this and it will help catch the person.
