Mary Bale Inspires Middle-Aged Yobs To Bin Smokie The Cat In Hull

AFTER Mary Bale and Lola, here’s another cat story now, readers, as we meet Smokie, the five-month-old cat found at a recycling centre in Hull. Workers there heard Smokie “crying” in a bin.

Smokie’s owenr Susan Hirons says Smokie was cat-napped by two “yobs” who stuck him in a “silver pedal bin” (Mirror).

I cat-binning a new trend? Says Mr Hirons:

“There’s no way he could have got in the bin by accident. He was put in the wheelie bin and then thrown into one of the containers at the recycling centre. I just cannot imagine anyone doing something like this. I wonder if people are copying that woman who threw a cat in a wheelie bin.”

Mary Bale: You Legends – you’ll believe a middle-aged spinster from Coventry can inspire. Unless, Smokie wanted to go in a desperate bid for fame (why does Lola get the headlines? Why?!)
