This is an interesting one, we can't possibly control our cats, they control us, we all know that!
It has been something I've been thinking about this week as my cat is missing, poor darling thimble. This week we had news of an RTA and a cat seen lying in the road on the night she disappeared. Now the police were on the scene so I checked with the council first, and no cats were dealt with, so I called the police. They said they'd been at an RTA that night but they'd not have made any note of a cat as it's not their job to do so. It was very frustrating indeed! They even said 'well it's not a dog'. At this point i must say we've spoken to two other police people whilst looking for thimble and both were immensely helpful! Guess the lady who answers the phone is not so nice...
As it turns out, two further witnesses came forward via our posters, and the cat in question, poor thing, was large and so it couldn't have been thimble as she's still very small. I assume the owner lived nearby hence the council not being involved.
I think if it was the law to report some people more people would just because there's a fair few non-cat lovers who will abide by the law, jobsworth types. There will always be barstewards who won't stop or report it whatever the law says and we can't do anything about them except be thankful they're a minority ( i hope)
