Petition to change law for cats
122 Answers
It is 2am so I am unable to write a coherent chunk of text.
The following link explains what changes are needed to make motorists obligated to report hitting a cat on the road.

If this is something that you think is a good idea this petition is up and running

I know that some local authorities scan dead cats to see if there is a microchip which will indicate the name and address of the cat and its staff - but many don't. Maybe that is something else that could be considered.

I tried getting my two to play fetch - but they just looked at me as if I was nuts.
hc - realisticall y I can't see the new law being implemented, but to have a pet go missing presumed dead is a horrible experience.

That's an interesting, and breathtakingly stupid & absurd, leap of logic Lofty Lottie.
Really, I don't think so. If you run a pet
cat over and don't bother to try and inform it's owner who's pet it is then you have no human compassion for others.
If you have no compassion for animals then I and many others, would say that you have no compassion for people either. See the quote from Dr Filth.

Respect for life is never wrong.... we have made wild animals our pets, placed them in a dangerous environment to suit our need for companionship there fore it is hardly a leap of reason to accept we have a responsibility for their well being. Why should that not extend to a respect for them in death...
Compassion has nothing to do whatsoever with whether you like something or not. You dislike cats, FlipFlop - as I said 'fair enough' Compassion is about empathy and realising that any living creature can feel pain and distress whether you like them or not.
'Liking' has nothing to do with the matter.

flip_flop if you don't tell the owner and just say sod it you will be knowingly hurting the human owner
when my cats went out at night i use to stay up and wait for them to come back home, i have been out onto the field at 3-30 am with a torch looking for them.
no matter how tired i was i always made sure they were safe in the house before i went to bed

LOL ummmm. Typical cat. When the back door is open, our cat comes in he open quarterlight window next to it. If the window is open and the door is closed she shouts at the door and if we aren't there, she goes round the house looking through all the windows and then 'knocks' at the front door by hurling herself against it several times!!
As Dr Filth's opening paragraph referred to me Lofty Lottie, I think it was a reasonable assumption that his comments were directed at me - would you not agree?
Further, it is also a reasonable assumption that Dr Filth feels that if I run over a cat thereby hurting/killing the cat, that I could/would also hurt children and adults as there is a connection with hurting animals and with murderers.
Whilst there could be "a positive link" between animal cruelty and murderers, Dr Filth has confused unwittingly killing an animal and wittingly killing an animal.
Using the leaps of logic so far shown in this thread, if I accidentally step on a spider, my family had better sleep with one eye open because I may turn into the new Crippen.

Rowan.That poem made me laugh.So true of cats behaviour.Flip flop I think the point being made here is not whether you accidentally step on something would you care,but if you knew the owner of it would you not want them to be told so as not to have them spend forever wondering and worrying about their pets fate.I personally would want to know even if it was bad news.
