There are some truly vile people out there.
Not everyone likes pets of course, and that’s understandable.
But if you had a problem with your neighbour’s cat, what would you do?
Most people would simply tell their neighbour about it, hoping they would understand and try to help.
This neighbour in Malaysia, however, took a slightly more sociopathic approach.
Neighbour in M’sa Hated Cats So Much That He Fed Cats With Poisoned Fried Chicken
A resident in Malaysia allegedly poisoned his neighbour’s cat because he didn’t like them.
The Malaysia Animal Association took to Facebook to share a heartbreaking video of two cats convulsing with pain after they were allegedly fed poisoned fried chicken.
Warning: The following video is disturbing and may be hard to watch for some.
In the video, the two poor cats can be seen coughing and shaking violently with pain while laying on their sides.
According to The Spruce Pets, poisoning can lead to toxin seizures in cats, which is probably what these cats were experiencing with the way they were convulsing.

The Malaysia Animal Association is urging the owner of these cats to make an official report against his neighbour, according to World of Buzz.
They wrote, “A cat owner by the name of Zueduan Duani claims that his cats were fed fried chicken that contained lethal poison, this is a serious allegation and is considered an animal slaughter crime.
“The Malaysia Animal Association is requesting for the owner of the poor cats to come forward to make an official report to the authorities. It is understood that the owner’s neighbour is the one that threw the pieces of chicken to the cats, causing them to eat the chicken then foam at the mouth. This is a very cruel act that’s very saddening.”
One can only hope that the sadistic neighbour who poisoned these poor cats will be punished for his crimes.
If found guilty under the Animal Welfare Act 2015 (Act 772), the neighbour can be fined a maximum of RM100,000 (S$32,665), jailed for three years, or both.
What Should You Do If Your Cat is Poisoned?
But what should you do if your cat is poisoned?
Many people might try to make it vomit immediately, as that seems like the most logical thing to do.
This is wrong and potentially dangerous.
Here’s what you should do instead, according to International Cat Care.
- Remove your cat from the source of the poison and isolate from other animals.
- If the poison is on the coat or paws, try to prevent the cat from grooming itself further.
- Contact your vet for advice immediately; make sure you know when, where and how the poisoning occurred. If appropriate take the packaging, plant or substance with you to the vet.
- Do not try to make the cat vomit, unless you are instructed to do so by your vet.
- If the skin or fur is contaminated wash thoroughly with mild shampoo and water.
We’re all a little stressed at the moment due to the Covid-19 outbreak, but that’s no reason to take it out on our furry friends.
If you happen to come across cases of animal abuse in Singapore, here’s what you should do:
1. Call the police at 999 immediately and inform SPCA at 6287 5355 ext 9
2. Take a picture or video of the suspect if it is safe to do so. Note any distinguishing features of the person and clothing/accessories worn or vehicle numbers.
3. If the animal is dead, do not move the body. Note the exact location (street name/bus stop number/lamp post number etc.). Take a picture of the animal and the surrounding area. Forward all images/videos to [email protected].
No animal deserves to suffer. Please treat them with care.
