Horrifying photographs show a neglected calico cat named Hidey with matted fur forming 'dreadlocks' on her body. Images of the overweight feline, who belonged to an elderly man with Alzheimer's, were posted on Facebook Friday by the Animal Rescue League Shelter & Wildlife Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The post said: 'This poor cat was brought to our clinic yesterday after her elderly (owner) had to move to a nursing home. 'She suffered from severe matting (dreadlocks, really), the likes of which had been neglected for years.'
