Stray cat left in ‘lot of discomfort’ after segull attack

A roaming cat called Pudding was left in a ‘great deal of pain’ after being assaulted by seagulls.

Pudding suffered injuries to her leg after she was pecked by the birds in Exeter, Devon.

The cat has actually called 2 county council-owned bin and recycling depots home for the last couple of years.

Refuse employees have actually long looked after pudding, frequently discovered sleeping at a cat well-being charity shelter established at the website or outside the city board’s workplaces next door.

But Pudding was assaulted by seagulls on July 3, Exeter City Council said, and as she attempted to leave was almost run over by a bus.

She was discovered by recycling centre employees concealing in her shelter and ‘clearly in a great deal of pain’.

‘They managed to keep her safe until the Cats Protection Society could pick her up to assess her injuries,’ the council said.

‘She was limping badly and had a nasty cut on her shoulder. It was feared she had broken her leg.’

Crews from both depots invested the majority of the day ‘anxiously’ waiting on word from the charity about Pudding’s injuries, getting ready for the worst.

Thankfully, the Cats Protection Society said Pudding just suffered a flesh injury and, after some rest and prescription antibiotics, was back to being a ‘happy cat’ in no time.

‘On Tuesday morning she was back sleeping in her box, recovering from her ordeal,’ the council included.

The City Council’s bin teams established a collection pot to raise the money required to spend for Pudding’s £100 medical costs that early morning.

By 9am, employees and workplace staff had actually cracked in sufficient to cover the expenses.

‘Everyone in Pudding’s Exton Road family wishes to express a big thank you to the Cats Protection Society for assisting her through her experience,’ the council said.
