A 15-week-old kitten has died after it climbed up a Christmas tree and became entangled in the lights.
Chloe Critchley was horrified when she returned home to find her ginger kitten Simba hanging from the tree her family had put up just hours before.
“Simba, being the mischievous little ginger nugget he was, had climbed the Christmas tree and managed to hang himself from the Christmas lights,” Chloe wrote on her Facebook page.
“I’m posting this on here for people to share and warn their friends and family NOT to leave their pets alone with the Christmas tree and decorations.
“We only put our tree up last night, and today we wanted to bring it back down again. It’s a sight we will never be able to erase from our memories. Please share so this doesn’t happen to anyone else.”
