"It is terrible to see your pet die a painful death," said Laura Wehko, 26, whose cat Chilli died of the poison last month. This weekend her other cat, Kiwi, became the latest victim."
"The first few cats died in a spate a few weeks ago and then it stopped, but now it is happening again," Ms Wehko added.
Gail Povey, 30, told The Sun that she was afraid to let her cat Minty out of the house after her three-year-old cat Horace, Minty's brother, died last month. He had to be put down by the vet after spending two weeks in agony.
It was several weeks before each of the neighbours realised that their pet's death was part of a pattern. When vets confirmed that the animals had died of kidney failure they called in the RSPCA and the police.
South Wales Police said last night that the force was investigating.
