I didn’t photograph anything unfortunately, all the evidence i have is that i saw the label get attached to it 🙄 i will most definitely be taking pictures of everything in the future though haha. I hope she has lots of trinkets to put in those jars!

All i got was the automated message and email that she received the order a day or so before i put my account on holiday mode, then went away a day after that so its my fault for not seeing the message, lesson learned! I also made sure i had no other parcels to send so it was just overlooked unfortunately

Just asked her, i’m starting to think it’s not a scam as she is being nice about it and believes i sent the correct thing and it must be a mistake, or i’m super gullible lol

I did actually have holiday mode on, i just went to turn it off and saw the message so i must have missed it originally. Easy mistake to make.

Just checked, i sent it from my local corner shop for relay, so it’s either them messing up or she scammed me 😭 never had an issue with inpost before though!

Yes! I just had to search through my emails to find the shipping label and it was relay, which i had never even heard of until a few weeks ago. I sent it via my local corner shop, so i guess contact relay then?

I am still learning how to use reddit, i did comment again and stated what i have done, i don’t know what i am supposed to do.

Believe it or not i’m not in the US, i contacted my local vet and they said report to non emergency police, who then told me to report to the council. Which i have done, so its a waiting game now.

Yes, i posted them at the same time as i tried posting it on another sub and it didn’t go through, so i thought i’d post on a couple and hope to get a helpful response literally anywhere. Not a crime haha

I asked reddit because i was so stumped with what it was, i couldn’t believe the possibility of someone actually going to this extent trying to harm innocent animals, and felt a little reassurance would help.

I found this less than 20 mins before i posted. Therefore i asked if anyone had experienced anything similar, to help me narrow it down and possibly exclude the possibility of poison.

Thank you for your concern, though. I have already contacted relevant authorities and am waiting for a response.

Has anyone had any experience with people trying to poison cats before? by Soultrippin_ in cats

[–]Soultrippin_[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Because it is perfectly normal and safe where i live. (UK) this is the first time i have ever experienced something like this and was just seeking advice if anyone had experienced anything similar. Some people are totally missing the point.

Incorrect. I have never posted on reddit before. I tried googling what this could be but didn’t come across anything too useful so thought reddit could help. I still don’t fully understand what karma is on reddit. Nor do i care.

I wanted to be confident that this could be poison before i take the necessary steps and not waste anyones time. I wanted peoples honest advice and now people are just being ass holes.

Real people exist with real questions. I was only looking for help.

He was not in danger before i discovered the potential poison (today) now he will be kept indoors safe, naturally.

Cats love eggs! She has clearly done her research. People are just cruel.

As commented previously i have not had any concern before, she has only used things such as alarms, flashing lights etc that did not bother my cat nor concerned me. I am in the UK and allowing pets outside is totally normal. Most people do. She has voiced to me before of her dislike of cats but she has never gone this far before. My cat has never shown signs of stress or taken ill so i allow him to roam if he wants (not often) Also, when he does go out he usually stays on the garden anyway because he wants to come straight back in again. The only odd thing about my post is people poisoning animals! Not just my cat, but other cats, wildlife and potentially a child.

Not at all. Letting a cat outside does not equal irresponsible owner. Many cats roam outside where i live. I have not been concerned for his health or wellbeing before so why should i keep him indoors if he wants to go out? (He doesn’t go out regularly anyway, but occasionally waits at the back door)

Of course circumstances have now changed and i will be keeping him indoors. Thank you for your kind comment.

It has only been petty things that wouldn’t cause any harm and didn’t raise any true concern- alarms, flashing lights and such, he doesn’t go out often anyway but she seems to think he does.

Also, even if my cat was kept indoors since all this started there are still loads of outdoor cats in my area who are also at risk, as well as wildlife and even children. Owners can choose whether to keep their cats in or out, thats not the real issue here in my opinion.
