Timeh Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Ive just been out in the car and as i was driving down Leighton road what i thought was a wild animal ran out and got hit. It was too dangerous to slam the brakes on so i had to hit it and hope for the best but sadly i killed it. It was from what i can tell a domestic cat, Ginger and possibly white with a red collar but no tag i could see. I removed it from the road which wasnt a nice task and im just back home fetching a spade so i can at least bury the thing so no kids walk past it and get the shock of their lives. PM me if you want more precise location details or want to know anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priorylady Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Poor cat . It was good of you to stop and move it & to go back and bury it. Hope you're ok, it's a very traumatising experience for a driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnomi Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Poor cat and poor you ? There are lots of 'pets missing' groups on Facebook if you're on it? Good on you for doing the right thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rach85 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 R.I.P kitty sorry for it's owners but we'll done you for being a kind hearted and responsible person thinking of others in your distress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeh Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Thanks guys. I appreciate that. Well ive gone back and buried the cat and marked the grave so i wont forget where it is. I dug at least 2ft so i dont think any wild animals will get to it and ive also bagged up the poor cat (felt horrible doing that, seemed so disrespectful) so if someone goes quick enough it can still be re-buried. I will warn any potential owner though even though he or she is in a thick plastic bag it still isnt pretty and could cause someone some serious upset. With that in mind i would be more than happy to dig up the cat and re-bury him or her in the owners garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayfly182 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Poor cat. At least it was quick. And poor you, having it run under your wheels like that. I know I'd be really upset. I suggest that a good way of notifying the owners would be to put up a couple of posters with a description near where it happened. There are probably several people who live near the owners who will know the cat, and one of them is likely to read it. Perhaps set up a special email address for the purpose and route messages to your real one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinupkeza Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Hi is there no way that you could re dig up the cat and get to a vet so it can be checked for a chip? I do appreciate you did the best for the cat but if it's chipped the owners could be told xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do appreciate you did the best for the cat but if it's chipped the owners could be told xx I get your point and normally the vet would have been first port of call. However, to be blunt there wasnt much left. I wont go into details but most of the cat was embedded in my tyre and some more of the poor thing got flung up into the wheel arch. It was really difficult to remove and It was a real mess which is why i offered to re-bury the cat. If anyone thinks a vet could scan it even considering the mess ill go get it now and take it the nearest vet, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
