Honestly, If you........

Basil is going to be okay. He has a fractured rib and has a collapsed bone in his face. He still has his little squashed up nose (he is a persian). The vets are reading up tonight whether they will have to operate or set the bones but because he is only just 1 they may just fix themselves in time. He is still in the vets but we might have him home tomorrow.

The lady who was driving by that stopped to tell me actually came to see me today to see how he was so it that was really nice and to be able to say thank you for stopping again was great.

Will let you know when we get him home. Thanks for the well wishes.   

Yes I would def stop!!!! Having suffered thru my own experience of my cats being hit, I know how it feels. Also I am the proud owner of 5 gorgy cats of my own. The youngest ones being the twins Asiah and Miss Ruby 15mths ol lol!!! I am such an animal lover

Glad to hear he is going to be okay.

So glad your kitty will be OK. Mine got hit just under 2 weeks ago, driver didn't stop. A lady who was walking by came in and asked if it was our cat and helped us look around for him. So did our new neighbours which was one way of meeting them I guess..

Jimmy's fine, luckily tumbled under the car and ran out. Just a scraped nose, leg and eye, no internal injuries thank god.

He is my first born so I would be devastated. I had nightmares about it for a week

If I hit any animal I would stop and I have stopped a couple of times after seeing a duck or something be hit and not dead. For a cat if it was dead I would move it to the side of the road prob not look for owners unless it had a collar with phone numberas cats travel a bit further from their houses. For a dog I would knock on a few doors. At night I wouldn't look for owners.

Glad to hear Basil is going to be OK Linelle.

I would stop, but to be honest, I don't think I'd be able to get out of the car. I am pretty highly strung, and I would not cope at all - I once ran over a stupid bird that didn't fly off the road and it took me hours to calm down afterwards. So if (God forbid!) I ever hit a cat I think I'd probably just sit there screaming/crying/hyperventilating like an idiot until someone with half a brain stopped to deal with the situation.

Willie hit a dog once on SH 1 coming up the Bombays. It was dark, raining, and they had roadworks on the other side of the road so had narrowed the highway down to two lanes. If he'd tried to stop the car behind would have hit us for sure, if he'd swerved he would have hit the oncoming traffic, so he really had no choice but to just keep going. We couldn't pull over anywhere close either. That really, really upset me (didn't help that I was already cross with him about something else so I flew completely off the handle at him) but in hindsight he did the only thing he could do at the time (being a truck driver he's trained to react in situations like that on the road).
