More precisely, the reported events occurred in the Olmo district, in the San Giovenale area. A citizen said he found one of his cats lying on the ground right at the entrance to the building where he lives lifeless and the other cat agonizing. Unfortunately, the timely intervention of the owner was not enough to avoid the worst; the poor cat died after a few hours of excruciating agony.

It is a chemical compound used mainly to fight snails or snails. It appears as a blue colored substance, but with oxidation the color changes to greenish.
