A second decapitated cat has been found at a playground in Adelaide.
The 20-week-old black cat was found on Friday May 10, 2019, by a couple walking their dog near the north-east Adelaide suburb Golden Grove.
The couple reported what they found to police who are now appealing for information as the male cat wasn't microchipped.
A second headless cat has been found at a playground in Adelaide after the head of a cat called Bear (pictured) was found in a Wynn Vale backyard
It comes after a Wynn Vale woman found the severed head of a cat in her backyard.
The horrific attacks have prompted the RSPCA South Australia to issue a warning to cat owners to keep their felines at their property.
The body of the first brutalised feline - a long-haired ginger and white cat named Bear - has not been found.

Bear's owner was initially unaware her cat had been attacked and posted a message on Facebook in the hope someone would return him.
However, she was devastated to learn the fate of her cat when she saw a Facebook post from the woman who discovered Bear's head.
She had previously told the RSPCA that it was unusual for her cat to wander far from her Para Hills home, which is also in the city's north-east.

RSPCA South Australia Chief Inspector Andrea Lewis revealed they did not have any strong leads to identify who was responsible for either killing.
'It could be the same person or persons responsible, or it could be two entirely separate cases, we just don't know at this stage,' Ms Lewis said.
'These awful incidents are a reminder of how vulnerable our pets are if they're allowed to wander and how important it is to ensure cats are microchipped by three months of age, which is now a legal requirement.'
An aggravated animal cruelty offence has the potential punishment of $50,000 or four years in prison.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the RSPCA on 1300 477 722.
