Sliema mayor John Pillow took to social media to issue a ‘community alert’ after a number of cats were found attacked and killed in the locality.
The post was originally shared by Debbie Calamatta, who reported the attacks of each cat one by one.
Calamatta reported that screams were heard throughout certain nights but only saw some boys who ran away when confronted.
‘These were very quiet cats and people in the area asked for them as they were also concerned. They never bothered anyone.’
‘A police report has been filed at Sliema Police Station already and we want to thank them as they were extremely helpful and immediately came to the streets to check with us. They are urging people to call 112 and ask for Sliema Police Station should anyone hear or see something so we do justice by these poor creatures and hopefully avoid from happening again.’

In his speech, the Speaker remarked that craftsmanship is not only a representation of manual work but also a testimony of identity, deep roots, and knowledge passed down from generation to generation. He added that Parliament welcomes this heritage with dignity, as we embrace the artistic work that, for many centuries, has helped build and keep alive our national consciousness.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Malta Crafts Foundation, Elton Micallef, said that this exhibition does not only celebrate products but also values such as authenticity, creativity, dedication, and a sense of community. He said this should inspire everyone to continue appreciating and strengthening craftsmanship as an important part of Malta’s future.
