Driving to work today round the ringroad (which is a national speed limit dual carriage way) I noticed the cars ahead swerving around something, when I got close I saw it was a big black and white cat, lying dead on the road :(  I fought with my consience all the way to my turn off and at the last minute carried on to the roundabout and turned round and went back up the other way then turned round again back the way I had come originally, when I got to the cat, as it was rush hour, there was no way I could pull on the hard shoulder bit as I would never beable to cross the road, and as there was nothing behind me I put my hazards on and pulled in as tight as I could to the central reservation (leaving enough room for cars to get past me if they didnt spot me in time.)  Poor puss cat was still floppy when I picked him up :( I didnt have anything to put him in so I just laid him in the boot, he didnt have a collar so I took him to the nearest vets, they were everso greatful and took my details just in case they needed to contact me.  I hope his owner thinks to phone round the vets when they realise he is missing, I know how sad it is losing a cat on the road, I lost mine last summer, but to not know what has happened must be worse :(

I shed a tear on my way to work for him, poor boy.

run free big black and white puss :(

that is so sad Claire.  just as well there is people like you out there who are willing to try to make a difference to the lives of people/animals they don't even know.  Run free kitty

I will never forget years ago seeing a big fluffy dead cat in the middle of a dual carriage way and everytime I saw him he was flatter and flatter and in the end he just disappeared into the road :(  ever since then I have always picked cats up from the road, even if it is just to lay them on the side for their owners to find :(

That brought a tear to my eye :-( Sorry that you had to go through that Claire :-(
Run free poor cat :-( xxxx

(((Big hugs))) to you Clairey :D
Its a nice thing that you do..... sad world when no one has the time to take just a minute to stop and care sometimes :(

RIP Kitty :-(
