The pet’s owner, who lovingly cared for the former stray cat and named him “János”, is shocked. For months the animal had come to her to eat and sleep, but then it suddenly withdrew – apparently because of the gunshot wound.
“It must have happened at the end of August, the wound has already healed completely,” she says. Now the velvet paw appeared badly wounded. When the woman saw “János” dragging his hind leg, she caught him and took him to the vet, where the projectile was discovered on X-rays. The cat then had to be euthanized.

The pet owner can only guess who shot the fur nose. But she assumes it happened in Markt Neuhodis. “I’m still stunned. Who’s doing this? It’s just awful,” she says.
