The Scottish SPCA is warning pet owners to stay vigilant after two cats from the same family in Methil, Fife, died due to suspected antifreeze poisoning.
A warning has been issued after multiple cats are suspected to have been deliberately poisoned in a town.
Scottish SPCA inspector, Robyn Gray, said: "Most people are unaware of the danger to pets from antifreeze poisoning. Eating the smallest amount can cause kidney failure and death, especially in cats. "Using poison, or any dangerous item, with the intent of deliberately harming animals is a crime and is enforceable by law.
"If anyone has any information about these incidents or that toxic substances are being deliberately used against animals, then we would urge them to contact our confidential animal helpline on 03000 999 999."
