A woman in Segamat, Johor, was recently heartbroken after allegedly finding her cat abused and stuffed into a drain by her elderly neighbour
Taking to Facebook to share her horror, Kak Yong recounted how she was about to head to work when she noticed her cat was missing from its cage.
"My cat is an indoor cat and has never gone outside, let alone pooped or peed at someone else's house, never!" she wrote.
She then went around her neighbourhood searching for any sign of her cat.
Her heart sank when she noticed her neighbour acting suspiciously, pushing something into a nearby drain
When she looked closer, that's when she found her cat, bloody and abused.
"I had to know what it was, though I was hoping it wasn't my cat. I attached a video where you can hear me breathing anxiously as I approached the drain⦠and what I found was my furbaby.
"I pulled the cat out β its face was covered in blood. My heart is completely shattered, Ya Allah," the pet owner recounted on Facebook.
Kak Yong added that she planned to file a police report after sharing her story on social media.
