Killed a cat tonightWell tonight I killed a Cat, a black white cat who just ran out in front of the car or under it hard to say, so quick. I was only pottering but I hit him killing him outright (Thankfuly in one respect, dont mean that to sound heartless) he had a collar on and I ran the number a lady answered and I asked if they had a cat black white, she said yes, I said where I was (road name) and she said that just outside my house she lived on the road not a main road. I said I outside XYZ and she again confirmed I was right outside in fact her house I asked if she could come to the door I saw her and walked ver explaining I had just killed her cat.  she was heartbroken but very very nice to me. But just really as I would have been to someone. I'd wrapped the cat in the tartan picnic blanket I keep in the boot. Offered to take her to the vets or somewhere, gave her my phone number and name and apologised again.Her husband I think came out and thanked me for contacting them and carried the cat home seems he was his cat. The lady was very nice the cats name is Oliver. So RIP Oliver.

oh Kazz...its such an awful thing to happen all round. Its happened to me and you keep running it through in your head, wondering 'what if' this and 'what if' that. Just be comforted that you were able to let the owners know what happened and that the little fella didn't suffer.... |

I know its not my fault and as a cat owner and one who lost her first cat Archie to RTA I know cats and roads just do not mix. But I am so sorry. |

Oh Kazz .....I'm so sorry that happened to you of all people cats are so fast that even at a slow speed there was nothing you could have done to prevent it.You were kind enough to trace the owner to let her know ....... also you took the trouble to wrap the poor boy in your blanket before she saw him. Run free at the bridge Oliver... |

Oh dear Kazz how awful. I have never been in this situation and don't know what I what I would do. Thank god you have done all the right things in informing the owners. I know I would want that if it was mine. Good on them for having a collar on the cat too so you were able to do that. I am so glad Denis is harnessed, I couldn't stand the pain for myself and for the unfortunate driver, such as yourself Kazz. Sorry you had to go through that experience. Rip in Oliver |

How awful Kazz but at least the owners know what happened to their beloved pet. It is much better knowing than not. RIP Oliver. |

So very sorry you had to experience it. So very sorry for poor Oliver and his folks too Bad all around I'm afraid. But you were very brave and did a very kind thing in contacting the owners. Thankfully it was quick, and Oliver knew nothing It is something that is constantly running through my head at all times that I'm in the car. I have this awful feeling that one day it is going to happen. |
