SKY News :Updated: 14:52, Tuesday December 19, 2006. A woman is facing jail after admitting killing her boyfriend’s cat by putting it in a washing machine.
Diane Hannon, 42, put the deaf pussy, called Paws, on a full cycle after arguing with her partner.
The six-year-old cat suffered a massive heart attack, severe burns and loss of fur during the ordeal.
Hannon, from Old Colwyn, in north Wales, pleaded guilty to causing unnecessary suffering to an animal and cruelly ill-treating an animal at Llandudno Magistrates Court.
The court heard Hannon was cat-sitting at her boyfriend Duncan Carthy’s flat while he visited his son on July 8 this year.
The pair had argued about Mr Carthy’s ex-wife and children from his first marriage.
