You couldn't make it up!

In the same vein as grasscarps post, as far as i know it is true, it was verified at the time by someone indirectly involved.
An insurance man is on his rounds driving on a housing estate. Suddenly a cat races across the road in front of his car, he hits it, clearly, and pulls up sharpish to see if it is ok.
He sees the cat lying on its side on the grass verge, still breathing. He decides to be merciful, gets a wheel spanner from his boot and finishes the cat off with a hefty blow.
He hears a scream from somewhere and decides to get away asap.
Later at home two police men are looking at his car on the drive, he goes out to them trying to explain it all.
" There was nothing i could do, the cat just ran out! The poor thing was still alive so i did the decent thing"
"No Mate" the copper said.
"The cat you hit is lodged under the front of your car, the one you clubbed to death was asleep on the grass!"

I remember this story from years ago when Simon Mayo used to read out 'true confesions' on radio 1. Another I remember from his show was when this guys dog got into a neighbours garden and came back with their pet rabbit dead in its mouth. The guy tried to cover it up by cleaning the rabbit up and sneaking it back into its hutch. Next day the neighbour asked if he'd noticed anything weird in his garden as his rabbit had died the day before and he had buried it in the garden and now it was back in its hutch! Like you say, you couldnt make it up!

I'd heard that Billy Connoly told a similar (cat) joke..........
