We recently had a circular through the door from someone who had lost two cats and was seeking the source. Said they thought it was people (cretins) using antifreeze in their ponds to stop them freezing?  >:(

Yes this crossed my mind as well when I saw this yesterday.  I think people add antifreeze to those 'tasteful' water features rather than ponds though.  ;)

Yes, I should have said water features. I have a very tasteful (in my eyes at least) birdbath but I don't use antifreeze in it.

I would like to think it was a genuine accident/misfortune but
with one dead and two missing i doubt it  :(
With the one we have left , we keep him in the house or garden as much as we can
now  :(

If it is several that are missing it could be an accidental spillage that no one has noticed.

Worth doing some moggy GPS tracking?

I think if it was accidental then the bodies might have been found.

I think it`s sick that people do this kind of thing and if anything happened to either of my two cats then I`d be doing everything I could to find the culprit.

Something that I am sure the birds are grateful for...

I am always conscious of thoroughly flushing the drive if I spill any, and tend to use a bowl under the radiator drain to drop the coolant, allowing for it to be reused or suitably disposed of as appropriate.

Next door have cats, and I have to be careful not to shut them in the garage as they are quite nosey :D and whilst I try to discourage them from loitering, I would never actively harm them...

There are some absolute schunts around though. Always have been and always will be :'(

I could not be held accountable if someone deliberately harmed one of my pets, but unfortunately, unless you have easy access to a slurry pit, anything you might consider doing would be an added burden on NHS resources.

Similar problem with me here, Al; one cat squeezed in through a tiny gap (amazing how they can do that!) into my garage, couldn't get out, apparently, and was sick and cra**ed everywhere! I was not best pleased.
Nonetheless, I would never harm one and always use a big seed tray (no drainage holes in the bottom!) to collect any coolant, etc.

My garage door is permanently (partially) open (wedge is too long) so I have all and sundry wandering in there. Cats, Hedgehogs, Pikeys, etc. They do crap all over the place but I can live with it. C'est la vie. I don't have to poison them.

I wish I could stop the neighbours cats from using my cars as 'territory' markers, but a bit of cat pee isn't going to end the world. I certainly wouldn't harm them, even though I'm not keen on cats.

One of mine had an in body flight experience at 3am yesterday because it kept waking me up!  >:(

But, as anyone who has met me will know, I'm a big softie really and can't guarantee the safety of someone who deliberately hurts any of my animals

I got attacked this morning by our male cat , he does that
to tell you he wants out . He's been acting strange since we had to
put the other one sleep , kind of clingy and keeps close and keeps
looking for the other one in and out it every room  :(
We got offered a kitten yesterday but turned it down .. don't think
its wise to take on another while all this is going on .
