An Armagh couple have been left devastated – and physically sick – after their beloved cat, Eddie, suffered horrific injuries in what they believe was a deliberate act of cruelty involving a firework.

The incident is thought to have happened in and around the Banbrook Hill area of Armagh on Friday, October 17, with the owner now confirming that a firework had been tied to Eddie’s tail before it exploded.

Eddie had returned home, cowering from its owners, before bolting when they went to check on the cat.

When he finally returned – almost a week later – his owner was horrified to discover his tail had been scorched down to the flesh.

The injuries were so severe that Eddie then appeared to have flayed its own tail, exposing much of the bone and remnants of skin.

He was rushed to the USPCA in Newry for urgent treatment, where vets confirmed he had suffered severe internal burns and possible spinal damage. His rectum also required stitching, and he remains under round-the-clock care.

“It’s been confirmed he was hurt by a firework that was tied to him,” his owner said in a social media update. “He has severe internal burns and infection. They don’t know if they can save him. We won’t know until Friday.”

His owner described Eddie as “an innocent wee animal”, saying they were “devastated” by what had happened.

The case has been reported to both the PSNI and Animal Welfare, with the USPCA recording the incident as an act of cruelty.

Eddie’s just a wee cat, and my heart broke thinking of him on his own in all that pain.”

Eddie is expected to undergo tests this week as vets assess the extent of his internal injuries and determine whether his back legs and bowel can be saved.

Meanwhile, police are appealing for information following the report.

A police spokesperson said: “It is believed that on Friday, October 17 between 12pm and 2pm, a firework was tied to the tail of a white cat named Eddie.

“This firework exploded causing permanent damage to Eddie’s tail and he will require an operation to prevent his infection spreading to the rest of his body.

Anyone with any information, you can contact Animal Welfare or send a message to ourselves to pass on, with the promise of strict anonymity.

Eloquently put, by our saboteur comrades 😂

FOAD, Heather Humphreys, you horrible pr!ck.

🗣️ “If a fox is being ripped limb from limb and is dying a slow and agonising death - how can you say you abhor animal cruelty?”

🗣️ “These are rural pursuits and have been for many, many years.”

Please wish our admin, R, well today as he contests a charge of AOBH in court - as self-defence against a man he claims hit him first after R allegedly witnessed him assault his dog and verbally called him out on it.

May justice and truth prevail.

There’s 100 reasons to dislike Heather Humphreys, but her disdain for animals is right up there at the top of the list.

Don’t vote for her.

Presidential hopeful Heather Humphreys, self proclaimed animal-lover voted for this!

Humphreys voted for the use of a snare that has been banned all around the world. The Irish Snare is lethal. One size fits all, it tears the animal to bits as it struggles. Blood loss and internal damage are massive.

Every night in Ireland, even during breeding season, thousands of these snares are set because Heather Humphreys and her colleagues voted for it.

And now she wants our vote?!!

Please share

Heather Humphreys is a foxhunting supporter, hare coursing supporter, BSL supporter and has attempted to get animal abusers off with their crimes.

We implore all in the 26 not to vote for this vile cretin.

The assholes in the Dáil and Stormont are using YOUR tax to fund cruelty.

🔴 BREAKING NEWS: €99.1million more of Irish taxpayers' money allocated to horse and greyhound racing in - that's €79,280,000 for Horse Racing Ireland and €19,820,000 for Greyhound Racing Ireland. Government ignored calls for funding to be scrapped.

People of Lifford and Strabane - is this an acceptable place to have on your doorstep?

FacebookTweetLinkedInPrint It has been revealed that fourteen dogs were killed in the first eight months of this year at Lifford…

To think that there are a large number of science-denying agri. folk here who want to see these animals murdered so that they don’t have to pay for vaccinating the animals they exploit.

Use your voice for the innocent. 🦡

🚨 BBC SPOTLIGHT: DOG FIGHTING EXPOSED 🚨

Craig Kitson and David Patterson (EFR MMA gym, Antrim) highlighted yet again as top dogs in a dog fighting ring that was secretly running out of Shane’s Castle estate.

You’ll remember Kitson, who went viral after videoing chokeholding his dead malinois and biting its ear but Patterson is less widely known. For years, he has ran Boneyard Kennels and has been a ringleader in the Irish dogfighting circles - even styling his MMA gym in Antrim on pit bulls, with dogs featuring in videos inside his gym.

Kitson - the son of a high ranking police officer - evades the eyes of the law and his “investigation” is still “ongoing”

These men may skirt around the law, but they do not escape the attention of activists nor the communities they live in.

The Spotlight documentary is available on BBC iPlayer now but will also be aired tonight on BBC 1 NI at 10:40PM.

We urge authorities, who have a plethora of evidence, to take action so that this practice is immediately halted - and so that well-intentioned people do not take the law into their own hands due to legal inaction, which we highly advise against.
