The seven-year-old black and white moggy was found days later by a neighbour, dumped in a bin and gripping on to life. Kirsty, who has just left her job to go on maternity leave, said: “I couldn’t believe the state of him. His eye was all swollen, it was like a marble. The vet said he would lose it. They said he was unlikely to have been hit by a car as there were no other injuries, and that he was probably kicked.
“A lot of people say he looks like Hitler, but he is so timid and gentle. I put a photo on Facebook of Baz as he has a distinctive black mark under his nose, and asked if anyone saw him to contact me. I took a call at work from the vet to say he had been found in a bin, but was in a bad way. He had been there for a while. She took him straight to the vet for treatment. It is shocking someone would do something like that.”
Baz was taken for emergency treatment and underwent an operation on Wednesday. Kirsty may be facing a £600 veterinary bill, but vets insist he is lucky to be alive. Gloucestershire police are now investigating the incident and appealing for witnesses to come forward. Kirsty’s gran, Cath, said: “To think there is someone out there walking the streets who can do something like that to a defenceless animal is frightening. It is absolutely horrific.”

Not Hitler. He had a small mustache. That cat should be called Groucho.
I thought the very same thing, Miss C.
I don't understand how anyone could be 1)stupid enough to think a cat was Hitler, and 2)evil enough to beat up an innocent animal.
To whomever did it: Just stand with your legs apart, it'll help save time when people queue up to kick you.
