I would argue the cat caused the injury by getting in the way of the car. It is likely they didnt see it at all which is fair enough. Its a cat. They are small. So saying the **** who hit it is a bit harsh.

not on about that. the fact you say they arent really pets. they just get food from people.. my cats dont "just get food from me"
I was exaggerating a bit, but they are much too independent to really be classed as pets.

not really mate. have you got a cat?
No but I know people with cats and they just go off on there own all the time, and don't seem too interested in there owners. I could have just seen rubbish cats your might be completely different.

The cat should not have been on the road.
I feel for the op, a loss of any family pet is always a very distressing time. My thoughts are with you. Be grateful a nice neighbour and a professional vet did all they could so it did not suffer a lonely long painful death.
However people need to learn to take responsibility for animals more, if you live in a place where cars roam about, then let your cat go play with the traffic what do you expect.
Giving a cat a cosy bed, loving strokes, and succulent kitikat is not where the responsibility ends. Cats dont understand cars kill, you do.

Totally agree with the whole of this post.I would sincerely hope that despite your selfishness my local vets would still go out of their way to save one of my pets should it be taken to the vet without my knowledge. Although if all they get for their effort is a smack in the face then I don't fancy our chances
The only person responsible for it is the person who let it roam the roads.
Several options;
1.Say the cat went missing months ago.
2.Say you buried the cat last year.
3.Say you found the cat in the road, but thought it was a write off, so you left it.
4.Ask for video evidence of the actions taken to try and save it.
Moral of the story, don't microchip your pets.

Paging Raymond Lin...
More like he thinks you shouldn't keep pets that you can't control. If keeping cats indoors is cruel then don't buy one, better than letting it roam all over the place to get knocked down.
I agree. And they come into other peoples gardens and eat the wild birds and leave intestines etc. Its horrible. A cat ate my guinea pig before too. You should control your pet.
