The man that owned the cat noticed that he hadn't come home and went out to look for him as he was getting in his car he heard a faint meow coming from the bin and found him. He then looked back at his cctv camara that he happened to have for security on the front of his house and found out what happened.
I don't think her life will be pleasant now even if the police don't do anything - she will be hated by many people and I wouldn't want to go out if I was her. I know I would find it hard not to give her some abuse if I saw her! The poor cat was in there for 15 hours! Can you imagine how awful that must have been for it.

To think she would have got away with it if they hadn't had their CCTV - so lucky. What would have happened to that poor cat otherwise? Doesn't bear thinking about really does it.
If someone had done that to my cat, I would have made sure exactly the same was done to them.

I haven't seen the interview she made but apparently she's been subjected to a real hate campaign. Good !!!!!.... What goes around comes around, stupid, ignorant woman will hopefully suffer even if it's not from the hands of the police or RSPCA. She ended it apparently by saying, " I don't know what all the fuss was about, it was only a cat"

This story has got me and my OH spitting mad. The excuses she has come out with. Her father's critically ill. (So??) She's having a nervous breakdown (???) It's only a cat. It was a moment of madness. She's a cat lover really!!!!! The fact is, it was a cold and calculated act. She talked to the cat, then picked it up by the scruff of its neck and put it in the bin. She had no idea she would be caught on camera and thought she could get away with it. Now she's squirming.
I wonder if she has done this before, as most homes don't have their own security cameras.
Apparently she works at a bank! She's in her 40's and she's got a decent job. It's unbelievable.
Worse still are some of the comments on the Guardian newspaper website. There are people on there who are supposed to be intelligent, sophisticated, cultured people!!!!! who are saying 'what an overreaction, it's only a cat, it was a joke'. I'm all for risque humour and I hate political correctness, I think humour can be applied to most situations, but NOT THIS ONE. How many comedians do you know who do a great 'animal cruelty' routine? Not one, because, NO-ONE WOULD LAUGH AT IT.
Now because of the outcry this woman is having police protection. I don't think we should be spending taxpayers money on this. I wouldn't condone a death threat (that is OTT) but she should be facing her shame as best she can.
There seems to be a section of society which still thinks it's OK to be cruel to cats. This is a throwback to the Middle Ages. There was an advert recently for a bookmakers which showed a cat being used as a football and getting booted into a tree (not really, just trick photography of course). But it was intended to be funny - the whole tone of it was funny. There were loads of complaints and a Radio 2 phone-in about it. It just shows that there are still some people who think that tormenting a cat is acceptable. BUT IT ISN'T.
Oh dear, sorry for the capital letters, I'm hopping mad.
