Over 100 cats reported missing in Ipswich

A Facebook page called Ipswich Missing Cats has received reports of 108 missing cats.
Suffolk cat owners fear their pets have been killed or mistreated

A spate of cat disappearances in Suffolk has led cat owners to fear for the lives of their pets.

More than 100 cats have been reported missing via a Facebook page called Ipswich Missing Cats. It is feared they may have been mistreated or killed.

Deni Parkes, who set up the Facebook page, told the BBC: "Cats do go off for periods of time, but owners know their pets, and they know when something is out of character.

"You don't just have 108 cats go missing - with no bodies turning up - especially as many of them are microchipped."

According to a report by the BBC, Suffolk Police have confirmed they are aware of the alleged theft and maltreatment of cats in the Ipswich area and a PSCO has written to Ms Parkes offering to meet and discuss her concerns.

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
