UK: Horror as cat found mutilated with ears cut off sparking 'cat killer' fears
The shocking discovery has sparked fresh concern that a feline killer is at large. Ovie, who was not yet two years old, was found by its young owner in Caterham, near Croydon, with his ears and the side of his scalp removed on Tuesday .
“There wasn’t any blood, it was more than likely done with something sharp. They had removed his ears and the side of his scalp. At first I thought it was a fox because I thought surely a human wouldn’t hurt my cat but my sister said, ‘I really don’t think this is an animal attack, it’s too clean’.” Boudicca first became involved in tracking the elusive ‘Croydon Cat Killer’ in 2015, after she and her former partner Tony Jenkins became aware of a series of cat beheadings in Addiscombe. “We’d been going for a year when a vet posted on Facebook telling people to keep their cats indoors in Addiscombe because they’d had four that had been brought in that had been mutilated,” she said.
He added that he was worried that "at some stage he'll escalate or feel brave enough to move on to vulnerable women and girls." However, despite the high publicity, the investigation was closed in 2018 with the Met Police saying that foxes mutilating the bodies of cats that had died in road traffic accidents was the most likely explanation.
