A bodybuilder is under investigation after she reportedly tattooed her pet cat – to make him look ‘glamorous’.
Animal activists were left furious when Elena Ivanickaya from Chernihiv in northwest Ukraine, had the winged Egyptian inking put on the Sphynx’s chest.
Images taken show Yasha the cat knocked out under anaesthetic. A tattoo artist then works on inking the pet, with the design taking up a large space on the animal’s upper body. But after posting the photos on social media, Ivanickaya was hit by dozens of messages from followers who accused her of torturing the cat.
Ivanickaya later hit back at the comments, stating that the pet ‘has its own Instagram and eats oysters’. According to MailOnline, she added that the cat ‘lives a better life’ than those outraged by the clip, and that the cat ‘was not harmed’ by the experience.
Her response to the accusations: ‘This cat’s life is better then yours. Maybe it is hell for you, but he feels just fine. ‘He has not been castrated and he never will be, this would be real cruelty. I checked with the vet before getting him a tattoo and they were fine with it and a vet was present while they were doing the tattoo, so everything was under control.
However Police spokesman Natalia Chovpylo said: ‘If we establish that the animal was tortured, we will open a criminal case.’
