A 3-year-old boy, who was attacked by a wildcat last Sunday, ended up in a clinic in Limassol.
According to the Cyprus Times, while the child was in the hallway of the apartment building where he lives with his parents, he was attacked by the cat, owned by foreigners living in an adjacent apartment.
The little boy was immediately taken to a private Limassol clinic where he continues to be treated as a precaution, with abrasions on various parts of his body. Fortunately, his condition is considered out of danger.
The state veterinary services have been informed about the incident and are investigating whether the owners own the animal legally, while the Greek Cypriot father of the child also filed a complaint with the police.
Commenting on the incident on Omega's midday show, Limassol Police Department spokesman Lefteris Kyriakou said that "according to the complaint, the boy was attacked by a cross between a feral cat and a tame cat, causing injuries to his head and other parts of his body. We are awaiting information from the veterinary and other relevant authorities on the breed of the animal. Statements have been taken and the case is being investigated."
