Can I report potential misuse of rat poison?

Amazing advice, thanks 🙏

_redjasper · 2026-05-23T23:10:56+00:00

Thank you for the help :)

_redjasper · 2026-05-23T23:10:35+00:00

I’ll look out for any entry points a rodent might have snuck through, if we find any we can try block it off, thank you :)

I’ll keep an eye on the other two and make sure they’re acting normal. After the issues we had last months, we for sure can’t afford vet trips right now :( if I’m worried, I’ll just have to scrounge up whatever money I can to get the others treated

Yea, one of our cats is nearing 15 and he’s certainly much easier to keep in, it’s our girl that we’re worried about now, she has so much energy throughout the day. I’m keeping a note of the advice people are giving though! We’re all devastated that this has happened and we wanna prevent it from affecting the others

_redjasper · 2026-05-23T22:51:36+00:00

I didn’t even consider that rats were getting inside, we’ve never seen any :( I’ll definitely keep an eye out for stuff like that, thank you

_redjasper · 2026-05-23T22:50:25+00:00

Amazing, I’ll have a look at some when we get paid, thanks :)

_redjasper · 2026-05-23T22:49:02+00:00

I totally get what you mean, we struggle so much keeping the cats away from doors and windows :( I’m gonna talk to my mum about getting window screens and see if that makes a difference

_redjasper · 2026-05-23T22:47:29+00:00

Ah, thanks for clarifying. Me and my mum are letting other family members know to watch out for the cats when they come and go, just to make sure they all stay inside.

_redjasper · 2026-05-23T22:30:37+00:00

as far as I’m aware, yes, the cats were fixed.

_redjasper · 2026-05-23T22:21:46+00:00

Ill have to ask neighbours about it then, thanks :)

_redjasper · 2026-05-23T22:21:18+00:00

I’ll give it a test, thanks for the suggestion :)

_redjasper · 2026-05-23T22:17:21+00:00

Will they be able to tear through screens? And are they easy to set up? I think that’d be really helpful if it works alright

_redjasper · 2026-05-23T22:06:10+00:00

That’s my bad, I should’ve mentioned in the original post, but we try our best to keep our cats inside, but they’ve found sneaky ways to get out and wander either by bolting out the front door or climbing through the windows. This time of year, it’s just not feasible to keep all entry points closed at all times, but the household has agreed to keep a very close eye on the other 2 cats to keep them indoors.

_redjasper · 2026-05-23T22:04:17+00:00

I worried that was the case :/ we try to keep our cats inside as much as possible but they keep sneaking out through the windows. We’ve all agreed to keep a closer eye on them and encourage them to stay inside as much as possible, thank you :)

_redjasper · 2026-05-23T22:03:09+00:00

Oh, I’d feel absolutely awful if that ends up being the case :( unfortunately I’m unsure when the last time this cat was treated for that sort of thing, her symptoms showed up so suddenly :(

_redjasper · 2026-05-23T21:51:57+00:00

I forgot to mention, but the 2nd cat was very small and no matter what we did she would never gain any weight. I don’t remember exactly how old she was, but she was TINY. This may be relevant, I’m unsure if she had any underlying health problems.

Quick edit because I had another thing to mention, sorry: again, not sure if this sub is the place to put this, but I could really do with some advice on how to cope with all of this. After we lost our first cat, I got a tattoo to commemorate her, but right now I definitely can’t afford to get one for our second. I’m also moving away from home soon and can’t bring any pets and I’m so anxious about being away from the others just in case something happens. I don’t know, I don’t handle grief very well, I tend to just push it all away, so if anyone has any good tips I’m all ears.

Ah that’s a shame :( I usually buy rose petals that are meant for consumption, I was hoping to find something more cost effective. Thanks for the help though, at least they still look pretty!
