"&lt;p&gt;A stunned pet-owner looked on in horror after her doorbell camera captured a delivery man attacking her &#x27;innocent cat&#x27; and pelting it with stones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Owner Lisa Ferraby, 37, was alerted by her husband that their doorbell cam had captured a visitor to their home while they were both at out at work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To her horror she logged into the doorbell app on her phone and saw a burly Evri courier attack her beloved cat Tumble as it sat on a wall near their porch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The disturbing clip shows how the courier first attempted to swat the cat with a large letter he had been delivering while shouting at the terrified pet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But seconds later, he then took another a swipe at the cat before picking up a large stone from the front garden and hurling it at the cat at it flees the scene.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lisa, from Milton Keynes, Bucks, said she didn&#x27;t know &#x27;whether to vomit or cry&#x27; after watching the shocking footage while she was at work. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pet lover Lisa said: &quot;I was at work, and I don&#x27;t really look at the doorbell because I&#x27;m in meetings a lot for work. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;My husband called me, and I know that if I get a call outside of my lunch break then I know there is something wrong. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;He told me to go and have a look at the doorbell, I asked why and he told me that Tumble had been hit by the Evri driver. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;I watched it, and didn&#x27;t know whether to vomit or cry. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;I was absolutely fuming, I just wanted to leave work, but I couldn&#x27;t leave. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;It is distressing to see that kind of thing to your own pet, and it is completely unprovoked.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Luckily, Tumble showed no signs of injuries but was &#x27;shaken and cowering in a corner&#x27; when Lisa and husband Andrew got home from work. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lisa said: &quot;We didn&#x27;t take him to the vets, we checked him over and he rolls over on his back and lets you look at his tummy and his fur. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Physically he seemed okay but he was shaken and cowering in a corner when we got back. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;He didn&#x27;t eat that night which is not like him, he just seemed a little bit off which is understandable really.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After speaking to bosses at the delivery company, Lisa has praised them for acting so quickly, and sacking the driver the next day. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lisa, a married-mum-of-two, added: &quot;I put what happened on social media, and somebody who I know&#x27;s sister-in-law is in charge of that depot, so I was put in contact with her the same evening. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;I sent her the video on WhatsApp and she was mortified. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;She said she had a meeting with head office the next day, and she said she was going to raise it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;It was on my LinkedIn, and my husband shared it, and someone who he knows who works in logistics tagged the head of Evri in it, so he contacted me and I had to email him the video as well. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;I also tagged Evri in it on my Instagram, so someone from Evri on Instagram contacted me as well. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;The lady who is in charge of our local depot said she would call me the next day and to be honest, I didn&#x27;t think I would hear from them as they don&#x27;t have the best reputation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;But I had a phone call the next day from a lady from head office, saying that they had sacked him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;Then the other lady did follow up with me so I cannot fault Evri in the way they&#x27;ve dealt with it.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lisa added: &quot;I don&#x27;t want people to slam Evri.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;In terms of delivery they are pants, but in terms of how they dealt with our situation, they dealt with it quickly and they were really good about it.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hermes changed its name to Evri earlier this year, after the company came bottom in a delivery firm league table produced by Citizens Advice. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A spokesperson from Evri said: &quot;We have apologised to Mrs Ferraby and provided a gesture of goodwill. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;This was highly unacceptable behaviour and we can confirm the courier will no longer deliver on behalf of Evri.”&lt;/p&gt;"
