Prosecutor Peter Mitchell said McConnell left the animals in late October last year and They were discovered the following month.
The tabby cat died of starvation. Another feline, a black and white cat named Tilly and a terrier named Chunk, parts of the animal’s body were then eaten due to hunger.
Attorney Mitchell said: “The cat died at that time and was eaten because there was no other food for the other animals.”
The animals were left alone, without food, for several days.
He said inspectors found the cat’s body, partially eaten. He described the photos of the animals, not shown in court, like “horrifying”.
McConnell spoke to confirm his personal details and pleaded guilty to three counts of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal. Toni Moran, defender, said McConnell had significant mental health problems and asked for a pre-sentence report to be ordered.
One of the dogs was mistreated and must have eaten a dead cat.
