A pet cat beaten almost to death for looking like Hitler is ‘feline all Reich’ now after battling back to a full recovery.
Baz, a seven-year-old moggy, has a distinctive patch of black hair under his nose like the Nazi dictator's moustache.
He was found dumped in a bin and clinging to life with severe injuries and blinded in his left eye.
Owner Kirsty Sparrow, 26, fears the timid tomcat was targeted by cruel youths because of his unfortunate likeness.
But five months on black and white Baz has been nursed back to full health and is now brave enough to venture back outside thanks to his caring neighbours.
Kirsty, from Tredworth, Glos, said: 'His eye has completely healed over and he is quite a lot heavier than he was.
'A lot of people say he looks like Hitler but he is so timid and gentle.
'He doesn't seem to have been made more nervous by what happened, it's weird.
'He's happy to go outside, although he stays in the garden.
'His treatment cost £600 and some people from all over the country kindly sent me some donations which have covered about £80 of that.
'A neighbour looks out for Baz too, and we just hope that nothing like it will ever happen.
