Mia the cat recovering well after scalding horror

WITH regards to your story about the poor cat that was found badly scalded on Mallorca (the Olive Press Mallorca last edition).

I would like to say thank you for the coverage. Our social media posts seemed to have more likes, comments and shares than usual so the article helped there.

Editor’s note: Mia the cat was found having been severely injured after apparently being doused in boiling water or oil.

RESEARCHERS have found that civilizations on Menorca were using hallucinogenic drugs as far back as 3,000 years ago.
