Thanks everyone, i'm not sure whether neighbours have lillies, i'm going to have a sneaky look tomorrow.  The vet seemed to think it was anti-freeze due to the low calcium levels in his blood??

Unless it is being done deliberately, lillies would be more obvious than anti-freeze due to the time of year its happened.  I lost Jet in June 2011, Cleo August 2011 and now Oscar again in August

Can anyone give me any advice on how to help Poppy, she keeps calling for him and looking for him, she really is lost xx

It might be worth speaking to the local RSPCA to see if there are other reports of cats in the area being taken suddenly ill, it could of course just be a tragic coincidence   :hug:

The only thing you can really do for Poppy is make sure she gets lots of love and attention, she will be grieving for her loss the same as you  :hug: :hug: :hug:

I am totally devastated at the loss this morning of Oscar.  Last year i lost my babies Jet and Cleo to suspected anti-freeze poisoning, their poor little kidneys were so badly damaged there was nothing they could do.  My home feels empty without cats but i felt guilty getting more incase the same happened to them. 

Anyway my husband explained all to a local rescue and in November last year we took on Oscar and Poppy (1 yr old brother and sister).  All was well until friday when Oscar came in unwell and i had a feeling of de-ja-vu, took him straight to my vet who referred him to a specialist vets 55 miles away thinking it was neurological problems.

They suspected poisoning as he kept fitting and his blood was very very worrying.  I got the phone call early this morning to say he'd been fitting all night, not settled and his levels had continued to rise and the kindest thing to do was let him go.  I feel sooooooo guilty and sad at the same time,why me again??  His sister keeps crying for him (he'd always come running to her - now she's lost her brother and best friend)  :'(

RIP Baby, i hope you get to play with Jet and Cleo

Sorry its a bit of an essay
Always in my heart RIP Jet, Cleo, Poppy, Oscar & Sydney x
