Our does! It looks left and right, checks if the road is clear. If there's oncoming traffic he waits until clear, again checks left and right. Then trots across.

What's he like with pressing the button on pelican crossings then? :)
 
Thats annoying, 1) they hit him 2) they drove off and 3) the poor thing was suffering and still is...

Thats awful, my mums last cat ran away and apparantly they run away when they are going to die! Thats awful..

My cat cried every morning when you enter the kitchen, goes crazy, spesh when you open the butter, that awful about your cat.

Hope he recovers!
 
just phoned up before the vet shuts, one of the fractures is so bad they have to put in a metal plate, so he is going in for opperation at 11 tomorrow, will need the day and night for recovery then hopefully he will be home.

appreciate all the get well comments and will get a pic up of him with his cast when he gets home :)
 
Once a cat is past 6 months old it could probably leave its owner and survive quite fine on its own anyway, at least when your cat goes missing you know that unless it has been runover there is a good chance its just got lost and will find its way home eventually. I have known cats to go missing for up to two weeks and then suddenly walk back in as if nothing has happened. If your dog goes missing however I can't see that lasting more than a few days on its own no matter what breed it is.

Heh, cats learn these things, same way they learn where their food is, where their owner's house is, etc. I've often seen cats waiting at the side of my road for me to drive past... If you see a huge lumbering metal object bearing down on you, animal or human, you're gonna wait ;)

Mind you I've had to sit half way into my drive before because our next door neighbour's cat is a bit dim and it takes a few revs of the engine to get him to move ;)
 
Good to hear your cat is doing ok, mine has just spent a week in the vets with a chest drain in, it cost us (or rather the insurance )£1510............glad your insured as it would be terrible to put a price on the life of your cat. If we hadnt of had insurance my cat would be pushing up roses now as i would have been forced to have it destroyed.
 
he home now but he not used to the surroundings, got some big pins comin out his leg and doesnt like the cone colar he has on. he jumppy and movin trying to get out the colar.
make me feal ill inside when he catches or falls on the pins. :(
 
hope he gets better soon, much prefer cats than dogs, i wouldnt care if i hit a dog, mostly care about the damage to the car, but a cat i would stop :p
 
hey, glad he's home :)

My family kitty (who died 2 years ago at the age of 14) broke his leg when he was around 5 and had to have pins in it. He recovered 100% and did so again when he lost his tail a few years later (wasn't the luckiest cat in the world!). He became a master at getting the plaster off and used to come and chirrup at us then wave his free leg in the air to show us how clever he was :D

I'm sure your kitty will be fine, he'll just get used to the pins and then have a skinny weedy little leg when the plaster comes off.

I have a dog and cats, and should I hit something I would always try and stop (depending on the circumstances, I'm not going to endanger my own life or anything). I think it's a matter of respect. Respect for its life (whether it's important to you or not is sort of irrelevant, it's ruddy important to the cat/dog!), and respect for another human who may well be devastated at seeing an animal they've brought up from being a baby hurt and/or killed and left to die.

As someone who lost an animal in 'suspicious' circumstances, I can assure you that although it was obviously upsetting knowing that he'd died, it was actually the thought that someone might have hurt him on purpose and left him to die that was far harder to deal with. Unfortunately nowadays too many people just aren't interested in something that doesn't affect them personally.

well at least hes alive.... last cat i seen get run over by a car has his head squashed. i was the directly behind the car and the cat ran out straight under the back wheel and started thrashing about in the road with its head stuck to the road. i about threw up it was that bad. :( i stopped and checked to see if it was dead... took one look at its brains hanging out the side of its and decided if it was still breathing i'd kill it there and then. :( luckily it was dead by the time i got to it. went to the closest house to get a box and a rag to pick it up with and it turned out to be the cats owner. :( 200 houses in that street and i had to pick the one with the owner :( i felt crap leaving it there with her covered up in a box as she was in bits but she thanked me for stopping and i carried on my way.

luckily my cat Pepe is well old and comes home with cuts and bites all over him but at 17 he's still kicking ass. :)
