"When we got to her she was in the road, clearly exhausted and distressed.

Thankfully the trap didn’t have teeth so no broken skin. Very tight around her head and neck, she could barely breath.

"Managed to hold her head still while my son used a saw to get through the metal. X-ray shows no broken bones but she is in pain, couldn’t walk and not eating.

"It looks like she’s going to pull through. Can’t believe she’s probably had her head in the trap for about four days, and almost made it home.

"Please be aware if you have cats in the Worrall area. Not sure where it happened, but she doesn’t tend to travel too far. Not sure if such traps are illegal."
