Title: Poor cat dead in RTA
Post by: alisonandarchie on March 05, 2008, 12:05:46 PM: Just found a poor dead black cat on the grass verge.It must have been killed instantly :'( Could not see a collar. I get so angry because drivers speed like anything on the piece of road even though its 30. >:( Local residents have been asking for ages for speed calming measures to be put in place. >:(

Just really fee for the owners who probably don't yet know.

So, so sad :'(

RIP little one and :hug: to the owners

My Dad called me yesterday saying there was a dead black and white cat in the road outside our house, I think it belonged to the man opposite. Fortunately when I got home the poor kitty had been moved,

Its so sad though

Post by: Maddiesmum on March 05, 2008, 15:53:00 PM: So sad, RIP little cat. We have a road like that nearby us, it is long and straight and joyriders use it to do handbrake turns. The speed limit is 30 but the police put a device down for three days once and the average speed was 48mph with some at 70!
