A pet cat has been branded Britain's most ferocious feline after launching a series of attacks in a village - putting residents and pets in hospital. The black tom - called Shiny - has been nicknamed the ''Devil Cat" after being reported to the police FIVE times over its violent behaviour. Locals say the fearless feline chases children, picks fights with dogs and even bursts into people's homes to claw and scratch them. Its victims are so scared they retreat behind locked doors and arm themselves with hoses and mugs of hot tea whenever they see the bushy black cat prowling the streets. (credit:SWNS)
