Cat owners in Lundin Links are being urged to keep an eye on their pets after a spate of anti-freeze cat poisonings.
Two cats in the Lundin Links and Lower Largo areas have died and another is critically ill after ingesting anti-freeze in recent days.
It is not known if the animals were poisoned deliberately.
Last October a cat died after being deliberately poisoned with anti-freeze in Harris Drive in Kirkcaldy. However, animals will ingest ant-freeze willingly as it has a sweet taste they are said to enjoy.
Even small amounts of anti-freeze can cause fatal kidney failure in many animals.
Wilson and Partners in Cupar is now asking cat owners to check their cats for possible symptoms of poisoning.
These include nausea and vomiting, twitching muscles and head tremors.
If cats display any of these symptoms they should be taken to the vet immediately.
Scottish SPCA Chief Superintendent Mike Flynn said, “Antifreeze (ethylene glycol) is one of the most common causes of cat poisoning.
“However, without evidence, it is often very difficult to determine whether incidents have been deliberate or accidental.
“It could be that someone has spilled some antifreeze while servicing their car but unfortunately we also have to consider that in some cases the substance may have been left out in order to cause animals harm.
“Antifreeze is usually colourless and odourless and causes tremendous suffering if ingested. By the time symptoms such as vomiting, lethargy, head shaking and coma occur it is often too late to treat.
“Those who have antifreeze in their garage or shed should ensure roaming cats do not have access to this.
“Anyone who believes their cat may have swallowed poison should seek veterinary attention without delay.
“We would urge anyone with concerns or information relating to antifreeze poisoning to call our animal helpline on 03000 999 999.”
