Storm, aged 10, is thought to have been caught on barbed wire or a sharp object and after freeing himself slowly made his way home.
His owners were horrified to see his injuries
Roxanne said: “We are absolutely devastated.
“He’s such a lovely cuddly happy kitty usually. “He will let anyone pick him up for a cuddle and can usually be found sleeping in the sun.
“What has happened to him is horrendous but to make matters worse it has cost over £1,200 so far.

“I think he may have got caught on something and then wrenched himself free.”
Roxanne, who works part time, said she felt foolish that Storm was not insured but it had not occurred to the family.
