Thanks for the comments, at least some people care.

I know cats get run over all the time & they just dart out in front of you & its just an accident but surely most people would stop, i live on an estate so its not like their's nobody about. When i lived in the country the cats got run over all the time as it was a 60mph limit but thats the 1st cat i've had run over for well over 20yrs whilst living on an estate as the traffic is quite slow i suppose. Our other cat is 14 but he does'nt go across the road,he's to busy sleeping !
