Cat poisonings 'horrific'
ANIMAL welfare workers were yesterday investigating the poisoning of three cats in Argyll.
The Scottish SPCA said the animals died in Lochgilphead from suspected anti-freeze poisoning. All three died within a week of each other and were from the Stag Park area of the town.
Scottish SPCA Senior Inspector John McAvoy said: "Three cats have died in the area and tests have confirmed that one cat was poisoned with anti-freeze. They were all healthy cats and their symptoms were consistent with anti-freeze poisoning. This type of poison causes a cat to suffer a very painful and horrific death as their organs stop working."
