Locals in a Japanese metropolis have been warned to maintain their distance from a cat which fell right into a vat of poisonous chemical substances.
Surveillance footage confirmed the second the now-missing cat plunged into the vat of chemical substances within the Nomura Plating manufacturing unit in Fukuyama, Japan, earlier than leaping out and working away.
Tiny yellow brown pawprints have been noticed on the manufacturing unit flooring after the cat ran off, however residents have been informed to maintain an eye fixed out for the animal.
The cat could behave unusually, as it’s carrying carcinogenic chemical substances on its physique and in its fur.
The vat contained hexavalent chromium, which causes pores and skin irritation, respiratory issues and even blindness.
An organization spokesperson stated: ‘The incident woke us up to the need to take measures to prevent small animals like cats from sneaking in, which is something we had never anticipated before.’
The cat’s whereabouts are presently unknown, however the environmental crew for Fukuyama City has stated the animal could have already died from its accidents.
The Nomura Plating Factory said a part of the sheet which was covering the tank of chemicals was ‘turned over’.
There have been no reported sightings of the cat since it left its yellow pawprints in the factory.
