Has anyone heard of any instances of cats being poisoned? I know that there are frequent reports of dogs being intentionally poisoned but wondered if this happens to cats as well. I found a neighbours cat dead outside my house a few days ago - it was far from the road and showed no signs of being hit by a car car but it did have a lot of liquid coming from its mouth. The cat had been playing around outside our apartments all day and seemed fine. He was less than a year old.

Yes .... it was probably poisoned. As all poisonings are indiscriminate.

It is only a matter of time before it is a child!!!

A Turkish neighbour of ours had both a cat and dog poisoned just lately. He seemed to think they had been near some sort of spray that had been used on land or crops. I don't know the exact nature of the spray as my turkish is not very good and neither is his english but I do know we have been warned before not to walk the dogs in the areas farmers have been spraying.

I had both my dog and my cat poisoned. Unfortunately, we lost the cat. Spam laced with lanate was placed outside every gate in our street!!!!

Why do people do it? It's so cruel.
