Eastwood mum mystified over cat's death

A young mum said she is mystified as to how her pet cat was poisoned with Paracetamol and died.

Rachel Slaney's cat was taken to the vet after it was sick and its tongue turned blue but despite a series of blood transfusions it died four days later.

The vet confirmed it had been killed by Paracetamol poisoning but 19-year-old Rachel has no idea how the cat, called Moo, could have swallowed the drugs.

She said : "I don't like to think anybody purposely did it. I just can't understand it."

Ms Slaney, of Bishop Street, Eastwood, said she knows the four-year-old cat didn't find the pills at her home as she keeps all medicine in a cupboard out of the reach of her baby son.

She added: "Moo was lovely, I really miss him."

Maybe I'm not the only one who is sick of cats using his garden as their personal craphouse?

Expunge the whole lot of them.

I'll probably offend with this post, but cats are the pets of those who can't be arsed to look after pets. Not really. Dogs need to be walked, they need to be cleaned, and responsible dog owners clean up after them. Cat owners, on the other hand, don't have to. The cat roams where it wants, out of sight, out of mind. If you can't see where it is, you can't be held responsible for it.

As for cats themselves, they are nothing more than users who are happy to feign affection to any mug who is prepared to put some food in front of it.

Our dog chased a cat out of the garden last night and proudly returned wearing the contents of the cat's bowels on his paws.

Cat shit across the kitchen, up the stairs, into the bedroom and all over my side of the bed.

At one in the morning.

I'm getting a gun.

Got to agree, but this person obviously disagrees...

i hate cats - Conclusion

I sense that these people have a personal problem - probably anger related. I'd bet my bottom dollar that they are sometimes people who are angry but don't know where the anger comes from. If it is not that it is probably a lack of education that makes them say, i hate cats....There are many stories on the internet where a man who was a cat hater becomes a cat lover because his girlfriend kept a cat and got to know cats. It is more about knowledge and experiences that will draw you to cats. One other thing, as women are more likely to prefer cats over dogs and therefore to keep a cat it is probably sensible for a man to get to like cats as it will improve his prospects of finding a good woman - practical point...

There is nothing in a cat or any animal that can be hated as they all behave naturally. If a person hates cats he hates a natural animal. He therefore must hate nature and as nature is the fabric of our world he hates the world but doesn't know it.

I once had a cat that was close to letting me walk him like a dog, would sit on my shoulder while I walked up the road, and literally ran into the house to see me at the same time every day when I got back from school. If I got back a couple of minutes early for any reason, you'd hear him fling itself through the catflap, if I was late he'd be waiting for me. I was 9 and took no part in feeding it, best pet I ever had. Shame he disappeared, probably went a bit too close to the train tracks.

In short whilst some cats are psychotic, a nice cat is the best pet imaginable and doesn't stink into the bargain.

What a load of guff. Sorry.

I hate cats.

Between my two sets of neighbours they have 5 cats. Neither let their cats in the house so whats the point of having them as a pet? Neither have litter trays so they use my garden as the litter tray. I have put wire on the fence to stop them getting but my neighbour just cuts it so the cats can get in.

My dog considers cat poop a hearty meal (along with sheep and cow)......never let my dog lick you.

I have to say I do hate that, it's pretty ridiculous.

Easily solved, if you get rid of the dog it won't walk cat sh!t all over the house pets should be banned and replaced by adopt a tramp schemes.

I like cats, although not when they bring you a dead bird first thing in the morning. Each to their own I guess.

Had a love/hate relationship with cats

First cat owned by my dear gran was fine, but that was before I met the legendary psycho-cat named Donut by my sister, one day I was stroking her while watching TV before she went mental at a harmless display of affection and attacked my hand

We hated other each with passion

I then had a lovely dog called Sammie, we spend a summer together playing. By the time I have finally trained him ( end of the summer I recall) Donut decided to attack him as well and my gran ending up giving him back to RSPCA- bloody bad decesion- that broke my heart

Thankfully then savage adult Donut then opted to bugger off and my mum picked up a stray called Tigger which I hate at first but albiettly in a classic style I grew to love that cat

Gran got herself two more cats Thomas- a mixture of Donut's violent streak and Tigger's soft side but we have a mutual respect for each other while Clio is a kitten and obviously cute

My dad also owned two cats- Tibbles and Pippa, Tibbles is just like Tigger while Pippa resembles the dear Donut- she even attacked me in my sleep

Thus the end of this emotional tale of sorrow of a boy whose a childhood is ravaged by couple of cats

I used to hate cats, then we got one.

I'm now indifferent towards cats.

I wondered why you picked me.

I've got a cat, it's well boring, but it doesn't take a lot of effort, although frankly I wish it was as independent as people claim cats to be. It's very needy and annoying.

I have a special area in my garden for it to take a crap, which I call 'Chod Valley'. As far as I know, she doesn't go anywhere else, mainly because she's so bloody lazy, so her impact on other people's lives is pretty minimal

Dont know if he does it in other peoples gardens but my cat definately does shit in our garden... Ive found plenty of little packages in the flower beds and seen him in the act.

We dont have any problem with other peoples cats shitting in it though... the last cat that tried ended up with my dogs teeth clamped to its back leg and hasnt been seen since. I do like our cat but wont have another one when hes gone... they are a bit boring compared to dogs.

Verb? That's one poorly cat

I never really liked cats, but my girlfriend has two and I really like them now. They each have their own little personality. Admittedly I'd prefer it if they didn't bring me dead or half dead birds and mice so often, but it's the thought that counts I guess.

Dogs are better... but I like cats now

I want a labrador.

Nice to hear from you TPH, I tolerate Cats, I treat them nicely - but I wouldn't want one. I like dogs. Big dogs. Not yappy little fackers like loud hairy rats on a leash or pittbull ugly faced look how hard my dog is (and what's missing from my self esteem.) I like Alsations, Lurchers, greyhounds, Irish wolf hounds, great Danes etc.... proper dogs.

[Flynny]

Dogs are for needy people.

[The Doctor]

theres one cat that is constantly cr@pping in my garden. the only way to legally deal with them is with a bb gun/ water gun or spud gun. just shoot the little fuskers.

I dont mind cats apart from when they bring in mice and eat them. This is normally after she gets fed as well. Fat bitch never stops eating.
