A well-loved community cat in Everton Park was allegedly held down by a man who cut off patches of its fur with a pair of scissors. Closed-circuit television footage of the incident, which purportedly went on for six minutes, was posted on Sunday (Feb 8) on Instagram by @timmytheblackcat_, a page dedicated to the black cat named Timmy. In the video, a man dressed in a brown T-shirt and shorts is seen approaching Timmy wearing gloves and holding onto a pair scissors. The man then grabs Timmy — who was sitting in its usual sleeping spot — and pins it down, before he snips the cat's fur. The man continued to cut Timmy's fur despite the cat struggling to break free from his hold, the user captioned in the video. Timmy later leapt out of the spot to flee but the man chased after the feline. After dusting off his scissors, the man was seen turning back to chase after Timmy again but it ran away to hide in the drain. AsiaOne has reached out to @timmytheblackcat_ for more information. This is not the first time that Timmy has been harassed.
