  10. Pet cat was seriously injured in illegal animal trappublished at 07:16 British Summer Time 1 August 2018

    A Cornish cat owner is calling on people to stop setting illegal animal traps after one of her pets was seriously injured in one.

    Three-year-old Monty suffered severe leg injuries in the trap at Trewoon near St Austell.

    He is a close companion for Michelle Toogood-Johnson's autistic son and she said that despite the high cost of intensive veterinary care they would do all they could to keep Monty alive.

    She said Monty was a "very special cat" and a "lifeline" for her son.

    Monty managed to get through his cat flap after being injured and on to the sofa before alerting his owners to his injuries by "yelling" for help.

    Ms Toogood-Johnson said he was bleeding and the vet did not think he would make it.
