YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAfter footage emerged of the shocking moment a family cat was subjected to a firework attack, LBC's Henry Riley investigates.
The incident is understood to have been carried out by a parish councillor and is one of at least two occasions that cats in Whittlebury, Northamptonshire, were allegedly targeted by Councillor James Garnor in 2023 using remote-detonated explosives.
Nikki’s cat, Suki, has twice sustained injuries, including singed whiskers, after stepping into the bugged birdhouse.
The video shows Suki leap up into the birdhouse, appearing to peck at the food on offer, before a flash of bright light stuns the cat, forcing its hasty escape.
Nikki told LBC of her shock when she found out what had happened.
“[Suki] came home one day missing her whiskers on her face - they looked like they’d been dissolved - so I put a post in my local community page on Facebook… just to warn people in case there was something she’d rolled in that had dissolved them.
“But somebody contacted me to tell me it wasn’t what I thought it was, that somebody had actually blown my cat up - and that it was my neighbour and local councillor. It made me feel physically sick.”
