RSPCA inspector Ian Callingham who is investigating the incident said: “This is just an awful case of animal cruelty and it is sickening to think of how much a painful death this cat would have died.

“It is very bizarre and it is strange that someone would then just dump the body in a busy area.”

The cat’s body was taken to a vet for a post-mortem, which showed the most likely cause of death was by strangulation.

He had bruising on his neck and blood was found in his lungs.

There was also bruising inside the cat’s mouth and his teeth had been broken as a result of the socket being shoved inside.

The owner of the cat has been traced and informed of the cat's death.

Anyone with any information should contact the RSPCA inspector appeal line on 0300 123 8018 immediately.

    “Abusing an animal is a way for a human to find joy and gratification through the torture of a victim they know cannot defend itself.

    It's not a huge leap from here, to other forms of abuse or worse.”

    “My dog was shot on Jan 11th 2012 and I am still suffering.
    That day I was touched by evil.
    I only hope the police take it a little bit more serious than my experience.
    There could be DNA on the phone charger and on the cat.
    Evil pure evil”

    “This is absolutely disgusting and heartbreaking. How anyone could do such a thing to a lovely cat is beyond me. But then some people do not deserve to be even be called human.
    We have two cats who 'adopted' us a couple of years ago, and they are such wonderful characters, and so loving.
    I do hope that whoever did this has a really horrible life and suffers a slow painful death. It's what at least they deserve”

    “I am ashamed to be of the same species as these "people" including the bestwood idiot who left the earlier comment.
    I hope they get their comeuppance.”

    “disgusting piece of scum who did this. Why are people like this only banned from keeping pets for a amount of time? It beggars belief. Cruelty to an animal should result in a lifetime ban, end of.There is no excuse of this, if the person gets caught, an example should be made of him / her.”
