A MAN filmed himself apparently slamming his terrified cat into a tumble dryer.

Footage of the man placing the animal into the machine was posted onto modelsport forum MSUK and has sparked outrage

across the internet.

Posts accompanying the video state: “Like cats?

“Check out my cat, the new version of Mr Tumble.”

The footage, which is now being investigated by the RSPCA, came to light after a forum member passed it to a sister paper of The Ipswich Star.

A comment posted later on the website by a user in Cambridgeshire suggested that the videos might be hoaxed.

It said: ““It was wrong of me to put up edits of animals, especially in that manner up on public forums… I am very sorry if your [sic] a cat lover.

“You will not be seeing anymore…”

An RSPCA spokeswoman said: “The matter has been passed on to our acting chief inspector.

“The video is really horrible.

“We were quite shocked.”
