Police are appealing for information after reports of pet cats being shot multiple times.
Two cats were shot at on July 5, with the pets both requiring operations, which they have both survived.
One of the injured cats was also shot in June.
It's not known where the incidents exactly happened, but it's believed they happened in the local Tuxford area, as the cats don't stray far from their home.
A Nottinghamshire Police spokesman said: "It is illegal to fire an air weapon closer than 15 metres of the centre of a highway, if by doing so you cause any member of the public, using that right of way, to be injured, interrupted or endangered and closer than 15 metres from the centre of any bridle path or footpath."
Anyone with any information relating to these incidents is asked to call Nottinghamshire Police on 101 quoting incident number 376 of July 7, 2019.
