Woman kills neighbour's cats with anti-freeze to stop them urinating on her strawberries
Daily Mail ^ | October 29, 2009 | Daily Mail Reporter

A wealthy woman who poisoned her neighbour's Abyssinian cats with tuna laced with anti-freeze has been ordered to pay £1,500 in compensation to the distraught owner.

Katherine Hall, 57, put the deadly tins of tuna in her garden to stop Nush and Mr Baz urinating on her strawberries.

The court heard that the five-and-a-half year old cats died in agony a few days later.

When police searched Hall's garden they found remnants of the deadly meal, and a cat-scaring machine.

Owner Andrew Boyd said it was a 'disgrace' that Hall did not receive a harsher punishment.

'I don't want to see anyone going to jail, but she should have been banned from having animals, and given community service at least,' he said.

Katherine Hall. Spoiled rich cat killer.

Seriously. Why go to the length of poisoning your neighbor's beloved cats with antifreeze to stop them from peeing on your strawberry garden? It makes you a CK (cat killer).

MEEEEEOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!

And if these were pet rats that were allowed outside, would it have been okay to use rat poison?

Rats are disease vectors, so rat poison would have been applicable.

With a couple dozen henchmen and an underground complex she could be a freaking Bond movie villain.

The old cow looks like she has already been into rat poison.

I am now taking care of 6 kittens and 3 adult cats.

'I thought putting the tuna down would be like a bad meal in a restaurant - and they wouldn't come back after it.'

THAT is the most disturbing quote in the article. I don't think I'd be attending a dinner party at her house....ever.

I put hot pepper flakes wherever the neighbor cats were peeing & it stopped them. The worst part was when they would pee by the window where my cats sat indoors. It got to the point you couldn’t open the window in the nice weather. I used the flakes & added some cayenne pepper & it took a few times & they stopped coming around. I hate cat killers.

Her puffy face IMO suggests she may nip on the bottle a bit to much.

Some people see cats like I see rats/racoons.

Not excusing her poor judgement.

Although if irks me that when on occasion my dogs go on a non premissable Run/ecsape from my property is is all the Cat people who cant wait to dial 911 to report their kitties are being terrorized (and yeah my dogs aim at kitties/dear and any other good chase, no that is not right).

Yet the Cats love to come baste in the sun right outside the fence and taunt the dogs.

But anti freezing someones loved cat is just wrong.

She should install a fake dog barking device or cage traps and return the cats to their owners with her anti cat opine.

This is NOT about justifying what she did.

IF *MY* pets were a problem to a neighbor, whether it was peeing on a garden, scratching car paint by walking on parked cars, getting in garbage or meowing by a neighbor’s window I WOULD FEEL RESPONSIBLE FOR MY PETS’ ACTIONS and change my and my pets’ behaviours and ‘outdoor times.’

SOME pets ARE a bother in the neighborhood. And not everyone loves my pets. I don’t have a right to let my pets be a bother to others. While *I* might think “Chewy” is the sweetest and coolest Siamese cat in the world, I know for certain that my (Korean) neighbors DO NOT like it when he uses their ornamental flower garden for his rest stop.

Again, not to justify what she did, I am just saying that I can see why the woman might be a bit annoyed, to the point where she took (bad) action). I do wonder if she had ever asked her neighbor to control her pets’ behaviour.

I would love to be able to tell Ms. Hall. Some time in the next Five years your food will be poisoned. It might be at home. It might happen at a restaurant or a friends house. But some time you will eat something that will boil you from the inside out.
