Pennsylvania State Police at Dublin–who took a report of the incident last week–are also investigating what may have happened in what they have labeled an animal cruelty case.

In a news release issued Monday, police said the incident happened in the area of Eaton Court in Milford Township, where the cat was hit by a BB sometime between 11:30 a.m. on Feb. 18 and 7:30 a.m. on Feb. 19.

Police said the cat’s owner reported that the feline “was walking in the wooded area behind her residence” when it was hit by the BB.
