TABBY cat Marshall is on the mend after being swung around in a noose and repeatedly smashed into a wall by a thug.
A doorbell camera caught Henry Newey, 18, dragging the ginger moggie by a rope tied around its neck.

The cruel lout was then seen swinging the pet three times into the side of a house.
Newey was shown on the footage calmly walking away following the attack at 6am on Thursday.
Marshall vanished before returning home in Basingstoke, Hants, at 1am on Friday — gasping for breath and with rope still around his throat.
The cat was taken to a vet and given painkillers for bruising and swelling, but amazingly X-rays found no broken bones.
A GoFundMe page set up by Marshall’s owner Sarah Keeling, who had no pet insurance, has already raised almost £4,000.
Any money left over will go to animal charities.
Sarah, a mum who is eight months pregnant, wrote: “As a family we have been overwhelmed by the support.
“I have a very happy eight-year-old girl who has her little friend back.”
Hampshire Police said: “We are pleased to report the cat has received treatment and has since returned home with its owners.”
Newey, of Basingstoke, was remanded on conditional bail at Southampton magistrates’ court on Saturday after admitting causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.
He will be sentenced in September.
