The animal advocacy group said the incident took place at Lingkaran Melaka International Trade Centre (MITC) in Ayer Keroh, Melaka. The timestamp on the CCTV shows it happened at 6.40am on Wednesday.
“The footage shows a cat sleeping soundly in front of a row of shops before an individual, believed to be jogging at the time, arrived to lift the cat and then throw it to the floor several times,” the Malaysia Animal Association wrote.

The video begins with the cat crashing on the pavement in front of a shop.
Following that, the video shows the woman walking forward, picking up the cat, and tossing it to the ground forcefully a couple more times.
In her last toss, the cat lands on the tiled floor and slides to the front of a shop’s shutter gate.
The kitten can be seen moving its legs and tail as if it is in pain.
The video ends with the perpetrator using a cloth to wrap the cat up before taking it with her as she walks out of the CCTV’s field of vision.

“The complainant who provided the CCTV footage claimed that they do not know the perpetrator and had appealed to residents around the Ayer Keroh Heights area to help identify the perpetrator and provide information to the animal crime hotline,” the group said.
