A BELPER woman has said she thinks her cat was deliberately poisoned with antifreeze.
Jill Wood, 54, said her three-year-old cat Gypsy had been in agony for days eventually died yesterday.
Miss Wood, who lives in Hunter Road, said Gypsy came in on Wednesday night and would not eat.
She said: "She just seemed different, she was really lethargic and was sick at around 2am.
"The next day she was just lying in the living room where usually she'd be out all day and just come in to sleep."
Miss Wood said she took Gypsy to the PDSA in Derby and that the cat was given painkillers and sent home.
Miss Wood said she suspected Gypsy had been poisoned with antifreeze as her daughter's cat had died in the same way.
She said: "My daughter's cat was poisoned by antifreeze so I knew the symptoms."
Gypsy went back to the vets on Saturday evening and died yesterday morning.
Miss Wood said: "Blood tests showed that it was antifreeze poisoning and I feel like someone did it deliberately.
"At first I thought maybe she drank it from a puddle or something but it hasn't been that cold.
"It's just horrific. I keep expecting her to walk through the door.
"I don't know why someone would do it."
