The owner of a cat, called Buzby, was sadly forced to have her put to sleep after her health declined over a six-week period

Inspector Adam Dickinson, who is investigating, said: “If owners see their cats licking at a tar-like substance on their fur then they need to take action quickly as it is dangerous. Buzby’s owner noticed her fur was being coated in April. At first the cat was able to wash the substance off, but there was a noticeable change in her behaviour before she fell ill.
“From being a very active cat Buzby would just lay in her litter tray and only move for food, which she was struggling to eat as the substance had burnt the inside of her mouth," Inspector Dickinson said.
