Yesterday our eldest female cat came back all drowsy and throwing up , took her to the vet and there was no chance of saving her :'( as someone had poisoned her with antifreeze >:( Vet said the dose was off the scale !! Next doors cat been missing 2 weeks and one over the road .
I say poisoned because she was fed meat by someone with antifreeze in it >:( >:( >:(

Bastards >:( >:( >:(
Maybe look at getting CCTV? Cats usually have favoured hunting grounds
-
Its a terrible way for a pet to die :'( I know some folk dont like cats but to do that is just down right cruelty beyond belief .. we have our suspicions who it could be but its proving it :(
-
I know what you mean... We know (as does half the street) our neighbour ran one of ours over and left him for dead last summer... Can't prove it though >:( >:(
-
Must have been a fairly deliberate act as 90% of antifreeze sold now has a "bitter agent" added to stop animals drinking it ... so "old" stock or search for stuff without the agent ...
-
There are some wicked..nasty.animals about to do that.....note i refer animals to those who could do this to any animals.... >:( >:( >:(

I'm no cat lover but the bastards would be drinking a gallon of the stuff themselves if I ever found out who did that >:( >:(
Absolute ficking scum >:( >:( >:(

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? >:(
-
The bastards. >:( >:(
It needs reporting, especially if other cats have gone missing.
-
It's a sick world....and this country is no exception,it's getting worse by the day,in all aspects of every day life. >:(
-
I personally hate cats but wouldn't see one come to harm...
I can only presume that the body of the cat had a biopsy to find cause of death..?

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. ;)
-
Leaflet drop the area to warn other owners to keep their cats in/contact rspca/police/local paper....?
I don't suppose the police give a shit mind you. They don't care about dog abuse from what a gather...?
-
Thing is cats are free roamers so it's difficult to keep them in and safe from the knuckle scrapers, but then who or what is safe in this country of late.

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 :(
-
>:( >:( its not just were you live , same thing up here at least 5 or six have been reported in a 10 mile area ,, but to make it even sicker they have been skinning them round here as well as poising them ,
-
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.

not only cats a friend of ours had her rabbit poisned :'(

Wtf could a rabbit ever do to anyone >:(

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 .

Sorry to hear about your furball EMD :( my big grey ball of fluff went out one day about six weeks ago and never came home and I always wonder.. Like you the remaining furball has seemed out of sorts since then
-
anybody see the bbc this morning? They were talking about this subject and how dozens had been poisoned in one town alone :o

I've had them go for several weeks... One of mums went for 10 weeks, the other about 15. Both returned home fine :y
You never know

Quite when she told me I could not work it out...but as you posted there are a lot of tossers around :'(

Might have been Boston :-\
I've just spent 8 nights down near there and this sort of thing is the talk of the locals.
It would seem that it is becoming the norm with the small penis brigade who feel intimidated by small animals and birds >:(
A pint or antifreeze poured down the bastards throats would send the appropriate message imho
Or if your in a really evil mood (like me today after seeing the ficking scratch down the lads car), top it up with bleach :-X
