sorry to hear that, i have the same views, but on the flip side, the night before christmas eve, my mrs swerved to miss a cat, and ended up rolling her car, and is still in alot of pain with back injuries etc. kind of puts it in a different perspective for me now.

This was my niece last week:



She was hit by a blue E46 doing 55MPH.

She is alright now. All she has is a broken leg and a fractured wrist.

She wanted her picture taken to show her mates at school.

my female black and white cat was run over and left in road she was only 2 and had since birth, i still gutted now, she was out a lot and went far least she enjoyed life. She was very friendly and affectionate cat, came hoem all time and slept on me been 6 months since she died. I cant help thinking how it happend probably some idiot in car as she was a smart cat. She must died right away as had a mark on head that was all.  Sorry to hear of other peoples cats being injured. I still got teh male one. I got to attached you dont realise until they are gone :(

I didnt find mine untill put up posters, i didnt get around to chipping her. Some peopel didnt take to vets they warpped up in a box and left in coutry i had identify her partly decomposed after 10 days, whole experience was awful, shame they didnt just take to vets as i did ring them all. Thye said thought was best thing as couldnt find owners as cat wasnt run over near my address was about half mile or more away. Thye said found in middle road at 7am. I just glad i knew what happend to her in the end.




There was a cat i found as well a few months ago, due my experience i had box in car. The cats was on bypass 60mph road there houses on other side, it was middle road i felt couldnt leave it there to be flatted it was 3am on foggy night. I knoticed intestines hanging out, i dint really look at cat picked up with glooves and put in bin liner and box and left outside vets with a note, i got a message nex days say thanks and they found owners as was chipped. Was quite sad but at least wasnt on road. Bet know one else would of picked it up

I always try and avoid animals.
The only thing I've ever hit was a badger, and that was already dead!

Was a fat f**k*r though, nearly took the splitter off (was too late to swerve thanks to the mk2 dipped beam)
I also had the heating on as it was quite a cold night, instantly got the smell of burning flesh and hair being pumped into the car.

I was cold for the rest of the journey until I got to a petrol station with a jet wash.

Might not be the drivers fault. Cats do tend to just run out into the road.
