In a sinister twist, two days earlier than Trigger died, Fiona discovered a notice caught to cat poo lined in plastic in her backyard.
It learn: “On my lawn, have it back, f cats.”
Janice added: “Why couldn’t any person simply come to our door and complain?
“I’ve contacted police as a result of we don’t need anybody else or another cat struggling.
“It’s barbaric and really chilling behaviour.”
