A Sutherland woman has been left in shock after her cat was shot in the head with a BB-type gun.
Lynzi Montgomery, from Scourie, said she couldn’t believe it when she saw her cat Sasha with a pellet embedded in the head earlier this month.
A picture shows the cat’s wound after receiving treatment from a vet.
She said: “I am very sad to be writing this message. I just wanted to let the cat owners in the area know that someone has shot my cat in the head with a BB gun.
“This was confirmed by the vet and Sasha now has a horrific infection in her head.”
The cat owner added that she was “so shocked” when it happened.
“It’s awful that somebody would do this,” she said.
