Beccy is baffled as to what happened. “It just looks like he’s been shaven. I was shocked. I thought blimey, what’s happened there?”
Now Beccy is concerned about letting her three other cats - Sky, Henry and Shadow - leave the house.
She says that 12-year-old Rainbow later seemed none the worse for his ordeal.

Meanwhile, she posted a message on social media asking if any other cats had faced similar treatment.
Many queried: “How could this happen to a cat?”
Some branded whoever had shaved Rainbow as ‘sick and cruel.’
Another cat owner said that his pet had also returned home with a patch of fur missing from his face.
