This can only end one way: 'Sylvester' sizes up 'Cat Woman'


It was only ever a matter of time...

Public condemnation of Mary Bale - the 'Cat Woman' - has been near-universal since she was caught on camera dumping Lola the cat in a wheelie bin.

But, as is so often the case when it comes to us naturally self-mocking Brits, it has been condemnation with a tongue lodged firmly in its cheek.


Slam Dunk: Revenge is sweet


For every one person watching poor Lola being blow-dried on The One Show, surely an ordeal on a par with imprisonment in a wheelie bin, there have been a dozen retweeting the surreal jabberings of a Twitter prankster who has claimed the 'Cat Bin Lady' persona for their very own.

With mad, self-contradictory, messages such as 'Took the rubbish out. Before I knew what I was doing, I'd swung the bag round and flung it over the fence. I think it's in their tree. WHY?' and 'No.35 hasn't taken her milk in. Really feel like pouring it through the letterbox for her. What am I like?' the Cat Bin Lady Twitter feed is one of those rib-tickling nine-day wonders that the internet does so very well.


Mary 'Cat Woman' Bale and Darryl Mann with Lola: The internet has made the strange story of the cat in the bin into a global phenomenon.


But even that streaming collection of bonkers aphorisms pales against Revenge Of The Cat. A neat inversion of the original outrageous CCTV footage it pulls together surreal prank show Trigger Happy TV and the Sylvester and Tweety Pie cartoons in an absurd topical vignette that is frankly a good deal funnier to watch than to have described to you.

Already trending wildly on YouTube it's the viral video of the week.

On a more serious note, prosecutors from the RSPCA will review evidence against 45-year-old Mrs Bale.

A full file on the incident will be compiled and passed to the RSPCA's prosecution department. The legal team have three weeks to decide whether to prosecute.

Yesterday Mrs Bale went into full apology mode after first making light of tossing Lola the tabby into a bin outside a house in Coventry.
