My daughter's cat

Sorry to hear the news Ed, it's not nice to lose pets as they are part of the family, specially in such circumstances, give oer love to Ann and Sophie.

Daryl.

P.S. Irons, you are an idiot for posting what you did.

Not a nice event, but cats should learn to stay out of roads - lost count how many have ran out in front of me. If I hit a cat, buggered if I'm taking it to a vets. If no owner is traced who pays the bill?

No matter how they go, it's never a nice situation to have to deal with..ie loosing a pet. Sorry for the loss of your cat Ed.

Having said that...and I should perhaps add "the above was said and meant sincerely" but if anyone is free to believe otherwise...what nonsense about Irons being an idiot or whaat ever label some folks chose to apply to him.

Someone states their opinion, which in all frankness, certainly doesn't appear to be quite the odd/unusual view and some folks would like to convince themsleves of and an apparent troop of sort want to 'set aboot him'

Are the others folks who have more or less stated the same thing idiots as well? Anyway, probably not the right thread to ask some folks to perhaps think about having a wee drink of reality.

Sorry to hear this. At least you know what happened. One of my cats got run over and we spent 4 days looking for him before we eventually found his body as so often after being hit they run until they drop. Cremation is an option if you haven't already buried him. Costs about £130 and you get a little urn with the name on it that you can keep somehwere close. Cromarty Cat who died a few weeks ago is on my bedside table.

As I see it, cats, dog are family pets. Would you hit, then run away from an injured/dying person?

NO? thought not, same thing in my book, I'd feel guilty as sin, running one over


Now, if it was a certain antler clad animal, that jumps into your path......feel no remorse, just glad to have survived yourself

Sometimes Ben a little tact and sensitivity goes a long way. Timing can be everything. Even if I thought what Irons posted, I wouldn't have posted it on a thread at a rather raw time.

Electro look at my post's mate its a small amount that have ended the way you state all do, i did not post what i posted to upset anyone and i was genuine when i said i was sorry for their loss. Just because i wouldn't stop does not mean i wouldn't feel a little sad about it. i would feel bad if i hit any living thing (apart from a rat i once ran over)

Maybe its my attitude to cat's, the point has already been made that they should be more controlled like dogs (i would stop if i hit a dog for a number of reasons) People open their door's/windows and let their cat go out and do what it wants, let it crawl in all kinds of crap and then come home and cuddle up to the kids, you cant really teach a cat to cross a road safely but you will let it out to do just that, but im the non caring idiot for not stopping if it decides to run under my wheels?? I dont blame a cat owner as such, its part and parcel i guess.

You cannot compare running down a kid to running down a cat

None of that is to say im not genuine when i say sorry for your loss, if i didn't mean it i wouldn't of said it.

Few other people have basically said the same as my first post and one even bricked one to death because in their view it was the best thing to do and im the only bad guy?? ill get my hat

sorry it posted twice

Please will nobody else post in here.

I've PM'd Fizz to lock it.

Thanks.
