Man throws cat in bag into river- and Cat Survives!
A cat managed to swim to safety despite being stuffed into a bag and thrown into an Aberdeen river.
The young cat managed to escape to the embankment after its ordeal in the River Don at the Grandholm Bridge and a witness caught the injured animal.
It is now being cared for by animal welfare experts following Thursday morning’s incident.
The Scottish SPCA wants to trace a man who was seen with a dark blue car at the scene.
It was the second high profile animal cruelty incident in the region this week, after a badger was found clinging to a harbour ladder in Fraserburgh.
“She’s a lovely wee cat and has had a very lucky escape”

In the latest incident, the friendly grey, tan and white cat is thought to be between six months and one year old.
She was wearing a distinctive sparkly silver collar but had no identification.
“She has a broken front tooth and is exhausted. But amazingly she is otherwise uninjured. ”
