The case against a Crieff man accused of attacking his partner with a cat has been dropped.
Scott Paterson was accused of picking up the animal and throwing it at his girlfriend during an incident at his home in Milnab Street over the festive period.
The 26-year-old denied assaulting his lover, spitting on her, and smashing a mobile phone on December 27.
He appeared at Perth Sheriff Court to stand trial but the case was dropped when several key witnesses, including the alleged victim, failed to show up to give evidence.
