The devastated owner of a cat which she claims was savagely killed by two of Peter Doherty's dogs says the rocker turned up at her home today - and invited her to go and see the animals.

Retired nurse Penny Ward, 70, said the singer's two huskies took her eight-year-old cat Archie while off their lead and killed it.

The Libertines frontman, 39, was walking his Siberian huskies near his home in Margate, Kent on Monday morning when they allegedly lept over a garden wall and snatched the pet.

Witnesses said they saw one of the dogs running around with the cat in its mouth before the other tried to prise it away with its teeth.

Penny, 70, said losing Archie was like losing a child and she said she would never get over his death.

She said the Libertines star visited her at her neat basement flat inside a mansion block in Margate, Kent but did not say sorry.

A bus driver who saw the incident told The Sun: 'The dogs were tossing the cat around like it was a bag.'

A witness claimed the mauling went on for ten minutes and Doherty did nothing to stop it.

Penny said: 'It was not on a lead, he had no control over the dog what soever.

'One minute he was saying he normally takes the dogs out between four and five in the morning because they like to chase and play with other dogs. Yeah right.

'They were not on a lead.

Penny said the singer barely apologised and that she is concerned for the safety of children near his pets

'In one breath he was saying he had two cats at home and that they had never attacked his two cats but his next breath he's telling me he's put the cats into a shelter.

'He said would you like to come and see the dogs, I said no. They are huskies.

'Do I really want to see the dogs that killed my cat? No I don't.

'It's a bit odd, would I like to go and see the dogs that killed my cat?'

'It is disgusting that he should be taking powerful and aggressive dogs like that for walks off their leads.

'He is responsible for my cat Archie's death. It could have been a child. I hope he's a better singer than a dog owner.'

She said Doherty has not even offered her an apology.

Dog experts say it is common for huskies - the new 'must have' dog - to attack small animals because of their strong hunting instincts.

Police have not questioned Doherty because lawyers said it is likely no crime was committed. He did not comment on the incident.

Devastated Penny added: 'My friend brought the cat back and it was dead. My friend has an allotment and he buried him under the flower bed.

'I could not believe it. It does not matter who it had been. It was irresponsible. It should have been on a lead. He (Doherty) said himself they are pack animals and naturally hunters.

'If he knew all that why did he not have it on a lead. My friend saw it happen. He said he (Doherty) stood and watch it happen. He did nothing to stop the dog.'

She said when the rocker arrived at her home this morning he seemed 'completely vacant'.

Penny, who has six cats, added: 'He had an older chap with him he was more with it.

'My cats are like my children. They mean everything to me. It feels like losing a child. Archie used to follow me about everywhere. He used to sit on the dresser in the kitchen.

'He used to love playing with a feather. Archie moved in as if he'd always lived here.'

'My message to him is either if you can't keep it under control on a lead then get rid of it. It could have been a child.

'I have not heard from the police. They say there's nothing they can do. Little children play around here. My cat was outside, they don't go far.

'My neighbour saw the dog come. He said it was horrendous.'

She claimed Doherty said the cat was 'still twitching'.

She said: 'I said the cat was dead. He said, 'are you sure about that?'

'I was a nurse for years I felt for a pulse, there was no heartbeat, the cat was dead. He said 'oh I thought you might have taken it to a vet.

'It was dead. There was blood on its front leg. I couldn't bare turning it over to see what injuries it suffered.

'I don't think I'll ever get over this. He won't have a lot to say for himself about what happened. There was a chap with him who was more or less agreeing that the dog is a danger to children.'

The cat's owner, 70-year-old Penny Ward, fumed: 'It is disgusting that he should be taking powerful and aggressive dogs like that for walks off their leads. Pictured: Doherty with his dog

Famous for his wild days of drug taking and dating Kate Moss, Doherty has recently turned his attention to revamping his hotel in Margate.

The Palm Court Hotel, which closed last year, was one of the country's worst guesthouses with shocking reviews.

Before being purchased for £500,000 by The Libertines last year, the hotel earned just one star out of five on TripAdviser from unhappy guests.

Since then Doherty and his bandmates including Carl Barat, 40, have spectacularly revamped the hotel's exterior giving it a trendy black and gold look, and renamed it The Albion Rooms.

Building work was estimated to have been finished by the end of the summer - but seems some way to go before the renovation is completed.
