When we were driving home from a friends place tonight a cat just ran straight under our car.
He died instantly, we turned straight around to see if we could help, but it was too late.
I moved him off the road and ran to the nearest house with lights on (it was after midnight) but they don't own him. He is on their front lawn, and they have promised to keep an eye out for his owners, and make sure he gets collected ok.
I felt so useless, I kept telling myself that he WAS alive, even though I knew he wasn't.
I've left a note in his collar (there were no contact details or name tag for him,) with my name and phone number if they want to talk, as well as a quick recount of what happened. I know Id want to be reassured that he hadn't suffered and that they stopped so see if they could help. I just wish he had a name tag so I could have called straight away, and they could have come to get him.
And I wish I knew his name.
