Govt. Refuses Cat Hit-and-Run Law, Cats Matter Disappointed
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
The government has no plans to make it mandatory for drivers to report hitting cats, despite an online petition and a campaign groups request. The current law only requires reporting for specific animals, and prosecuting drivers for hitting cats is challenging due to their small size and active nature. The campaign group Cats Matter expressed disappointment, arguing that cats deserve the same legal protection as dogs. Road traffic accidents cause injury to four percent of cats, and Cats Protection advises drivers to take injured cats to a vet and councils to scan and inform owners of deceased cats.
