In June the Herald revealed a pet dog called Lenny had died after eating poison in Kirkintilloch's Woodhead Park.
Last week a second life was claimed when Sooty, a nine-month-old cat, was poisoned in nearby Crosshill Avenue.
Lisa Somerville, who bought Sooty for her seven-year-old daughter's Christmas, is devastated, particularly since her pet gave birth to four kittens just two weeks ago.
