After landing on the floor, Collier picked the cat up, before it had a seizure. The animal died in his arms. Collier, from Woodley, accepted 'causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal' and was handed a suspended prison sentence.

Stockport Magistrates" Court was read a basis of plea document, in which Collier accepted throwing the animal into the air after it 'hissed at him' on January 23.
