Dead Kitty

Was at the vets yesterday and, while we waited to get the black Lab checked, a lady came in to report a cat that had been hit by a car in the next street. She’d stopped and the cat had died as she tended to it.
She had put the body on the verge and had removed the collar & tag which she handed to the receptionist. She was quite upset and had blood all over her hands but she’d at least stopped to do something. One of the practice nurses went off in her own car to retrieve the cat to scan for a microchip as we left following our appointment.

To the OP. If you can bring yourself to do it, please take the body to a local vet – the cat is quite possibly chipped.

When I pop back that way in an hour I’ll see if it’s still there and take it to the vet.
Let you know what happens.

We all who are house slaves for felines know the dread of them not arriving punctually for their meals and the relief when the cat flap goes.

There is no way you can protect them, they are wild, wandering creatures that love their freedom and have no innate road sense at all.

As I type Electra is curled up in the tiny gap under the monitor shelf and I know he’s safe for the time being.

Poor owners. I hope they are soon able to bury the poor mog, from experience, usually through tears.

Some family somewhere will be heartbroken. I know how it feels.

They probably won’t know until posters go up asking after it.We have a cat that has basically left home,some of our neighbours see her but if anything happened we have to assume someone will contact us via her collar if it’s still on.
