Cat owners fear someone is poisoning pets

Cat owners fear someone is poisoning their pets on a Livingston housing estate

Mum-of-two Carol Ferns had to have beloved black Tortoiseshell Precious put to sleep on Tuesday after she was struck down with organ failure.

Another neighbour’s pet died at the weekend while two more animals in the same square are believed to have been targeted – all by food laced with antifreeze. “My daughter’s absolutely devastated,” said Ms Ferns. A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “Police are investigating two reports of cats having been poisoned.”
