Marley the cat has made a miraculous recovery from a shotgun blast that pumped 21 pellets into his body. The year-old feline still has 15 slugs inside him ufffd including three in his lung ufffd because it is too dangerous to remove them. Marley ufffd who nearly lost an eye in the sickening attack ufffd is one of 205 shot cats reported to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) last year. Now the animal charity is calling people to help snare the thug who blasted him and catch some of the other callous cat shooters. Marley's angry owner Kathy Thomson said, "It is utterly despicable to shoot a defenceless cat with a shotgun." She added that the number of cats injured was much higher than what the figures of RSPCA. She added, "When I picked him up he yelled dreadfully and I realised then something terrible had happened to him." She rushed him to the vet where his life was in the balance for three days. RSPCA chief vet Alastair Macmillan said, "Air weapons cause horrific injuries to animals." He added that Cats were an easy target for malicious people because they normally are out on their own."
