Some residents of the Narbonne region of southern France have noticed that some streets cats vomited a blue substance. They meow weakly and die. It sounds awful. And in such large numbers. Local animal welfare organisations blamed poisoning; rat poison, cannabis or motor oil in cat food. But autopsies were carried out on two …
