One cat was found with an air rifle pellet in its leg, while another was found with a pellet in its lung.
The incidents happened within the same week in The Lawns, Sompting and are believed to be linked, police said.
Both cats are recovering.
PETA has responded to the incident with a ‘red alert’, calling all residents in the area to keep their cats indoors.
A spokesperson for the organisation said: “In addition to risking being injured – either by accident or by the cruel and deliberate actions of callous people – cats who are allowed to roam outdoors are in danger of ingesting poison, contracting fatal diseases, becoming lost, and facing many other hazards.”

Get mad at me for being jocular.
Turd world African invaders BBQ pet cats. Nasty s hole creatures.
Bad shootin’.
I read the headline and thought cats were attacking.
Me too. I was about to post a Viking Kitty gif...
Then I read your post.
Not many, but a few cases...
PETA would actually approve of that.
We were in an urban Phoenix neighborhood, so we had resolved to keep our kitties inside even though they wanted out.
My make cat got so restless, he took to find small objects to ingest. In one case it was a piece of kitchen chair leg tip, in another it was a small Lego tire. Both caused blockages. He had to be opened up twice, his stomach once. Cost to family, thousands of dollars.
Now he has a cat flap, and we have had no other incidents.
Someone hurts my cat intentionally, they “ risking being injured – either by accident or by the cruel and deliberate actions of callous people”.
PETA beware in Texas. Don’t venture out of the house.
“PETA would actually approve of that.”
Yes they would.

So Peta- the organization that destroys boatloads of animals and throw them in neighborhood dumpsters- who destroy animals that are given to them because people can’t take care of them- are all of a sudden all concerned about the welfare of animals?
