A kitten was millimetres from death after impaling himself on a huge metal plant holder. One of the rusty legs went right into nine-month-old Biscuit but amazingly missed all his vital organs.
Owner Catherine Allen who rushed Biscuit to Zetland Vets, part of the My Family Vets network, says it’s a miracle the much-loved cat survived. And head veterinary surgeon vet Lexy Hughes, who says it’s a “once in a career case”, has hailed Catherine’s 16-year-old daughter Isabelle who cradled her pet in her arms as the team tried to remove the metal.
Catherine was alerted by a crashing noise outside the family home and found Biscuit hiding under her car when she went to investigate. “The big plant holder was in front of him, and I thought he just couldn’t get out because of it,” said Catherine. “But when I looked, I saw one of the legs had gone through his body.
