A well-loved family cat was back at the vet on Thursday, after spending Wednesday night in pain as a result of a violent attack that saw her launched on to a Whanganui East street.
Originally, the family pet suffered only a concussion and some cuts in the attack, but continued to experience pain overnight Wednesday and Thursday morning.
Owner Felicity Simmons said 16-year-old Lilly "hadn't been herself" since the incident and still appeared to be in considerable pain.
"Lilly is not too great today. She's about to go back to the vet for some IV fluids and pain relief," she said.
