She repeatedly hurled a large brick into the bin with both hands as the terrified cat screamed inside.

Police arrested Mattinson as she carried the cat in her arms to a local vet. The creature was said to be distressed, with injured hind legs and heavy bleeding from its paw. The kitten has since made a miraculous recovery and is now living with new owners.

She claimed she had been attempting to put the kitten ''out of its misery'' but also confessed she had been drinking vodka in the run up to the incident, reports the Manchester Evening News. At Bolton Crown Court, Mattinson, who admitted causing unnecessary suffering and using threatening behaviour, was sentenced to eight months jail, suspended for two years.
