A MUM was sent a gruesome video of her beheaded cat - sparking fears that a moggie murderer is on the loose.
Caroline Prater, from Bristol, was sent a clip of 11-year-old Morris lying decapitated in the street.
Cops fear the ginger puss was murdered as part of a sick gang initiation.
Caroline said: "Last Friday night he didn’t come home, and he wasn’t on the doorstep on Saturday morning, like he normally would be if he stayed out all night.
"The video was absolutely horrible. The camera scans up and down Morris’s body showing injuries and then his head is almost completely off, it’s been cut off just so it’s attached by a thread - it’s disgusting.
"Then also, we don’t understand what happened to him between the time he went missing on Friday evening and when the video was filmed on the Sunday."
When she visited the area where the clip was filmed, there was no trace of Morris beyond a handful of distinctive ginger fur.
'EXECUTED' IN STREET
She added: "Did someone capture him and keep him captive, so they could torture him? It doesn’t bear thinking about.
"We’ve been told that this could be some kind of gang initiation, like a test someone who wants to join has to do. We don’t understand this vile behaviour.
“It’s horrendous, absolutely horrendous. I’m angry that people would do this. They have scraped all the fur off his back and then cut his head off.
"And then they have moved or hidden him. I can’t get the body back - I don’t know where it is.
“That little footpath is well used, it’s used by families taking their children to school, and they’ve left this cat there and we don’t know what’s happened. It’s sickening.
"He's been barbarically tortured, so gruesomely that you wouldn't believe the pictures of him".
Cops investigating the killing have arrested a man in his 20s.
