    It is thought the curious feline had been in a vat of hexavalent chromium, a highly acidic and carcinogenic chemical which is orange and brown in colour.

    I’d clicked into this story after misreading the place as Fukushima. Nothing to do with anything nuclear, but it sounds like that that would have been better for the cat than this stuff.

      I just want to know how a vat of hexavalent chromium was so poorly controlled that a cat was able to get into it
