Keogh the cat : I've been in a wheelie bin too

Miaooow Keogh fans! And Hello Lola (who's pictured above after her ordeal in a wheelie bin).

Regarding this woman who flung her in the bin. Don't know what all the fuss is about: it didn't do Top Cat any harm.

He lived in a bin for years.

And even Officer Dibble hadn't got a problem with that. He didn't go round shouting, 'animal cruelty'.

I've clambered into many a recycling bin, but the point is, I had a choice...the choice being the chicken carcass at the bottom or the half-eaten salmon.

I wasn't given a helping hand by a member of the general public.

Obviously, the woman did wrong. The woman used the one for garden items.

But the sorry saga has given us cats much needed media exposure - and hammered home a very important message: cats aren't just for Christmas, but it's a lot easier to hide them under the thrown-out wrapping paper at that time of year.

Me and my mates are sickened by the incident and feel this heartless cat-hater should have the book thrown at her. Admittedly, she'd put it in the bin...

We've started a 'Justice for Lola the Tabby' Facebook group, calling for the perpetrator of this vile act, one Mary Bale, to be sentenced to a few days in a wheelie bin.

They could even get her to do some community service and fling out the items that shouldn't be in there.

But I don't go along with these people demanding some terrible forms of retribution. Mind you, someone neutered me and I only left hairs on the new sofa.

Be warned, Mary Bale.

We've also sent messages of support to poor Lola.

My mate Whiskers, who lives in cardboard box, wrote: "Thinking of you...PS: If you're not using the bin, any chance..."

I was dumped on Cannock Chase as a kitten, but no one whipped up a media storm over that. I've told Lola: "Wheelie bin? You were lucky..."

Mary Bale has described the incident as a 'split second of misjudgement', which baffles me.

Was she aiming for something else? Did she think Lola was a discarded slipper?

But the lady is profusely sorry and won't do it again, which is a relief because there's always a danger people like this will move on to bigger, more dangerous animal crimes.

One day it's flinging a defenceless moggie into a wheelie bin, the next you're calling on a skip hire company to take care of next door's Great Dane.
