I wonder if this is related to the infamous Croydon Cat Killer of several years ago? It would be interesting to know Mr Bouquet's whereabouts over the past ten years or so...

We just saw it as well, we’ll be eagerly waiting for the 12th July.

Some of his modus operandi sounds similar...creeping about at night, and leaving the cats' mutilated bodies on their owners' doorsteps. I think the Croydon cat killer dissected his victims in a particular way...maybe something about this will come out in court next month. I don't accept that the Croydon cat killer was a fox, and would be very relieved if he (or she) was caught and imprisoned.

God, yes, this ruined my whole day. And when you think that the most likely victims are the friendly, trusting little cats.

Those poor cats and their owners. I hope he gets a very long sentence, evil bastard.

It’s another reason for building catios & cat proofing gardens. There’s some sick bastards around. You’re sick if you get pleasure from stabbing animals.

I never bought the fox story either. It’s like when ufos get explained as weather balloons 🙄

I hope he dies a horrible and lingering death.

The fact that there is no difference in the law of him stabbing beloved pets or stabbing someone's garden furniture is disgusting.

The laws need to change. He needs to go to prison and hopefully be welcomed by some ferocious cat lovers.

What a disgusting vile man. It makes me sick.

Interesting that they charged him with criminal damage, because cruelty to animals carries a much lesser sentence. They got vets' bills adding up to £32,000 from all the cats who had been stabbed but survived, otherwise the criminal damage wouldn't have been high enough in financial value to charge him.

Oh my god!!!! We finally have a face to put to a psycho.

What a sick bastard. Also worryingly, it often starts with animals and then moves on to people.
I hope he goes to prison for a long time but unfortunately I doubt it.

What a bastard. I don’t want to read the article, the headline said all I need to know. RIP little cats 😢

Heartbreaking. I hope they throw away the key. Sadly, I doubt he'll get much of a sentence.

Some well-known psychopaths started their 'career' with animals and moved onto humans - there's every reason to imprison people who deliberately harm animals.
