Cats are being left out of a key road safety law that requires drivers to report hitting dogs, horses, or livestock—meaning a driver can hit a cat and just drive off. A massive petition with over 189,000 signatures is pushing for change, highlighting that roughly 230,000 cats are hit by cars each year in the UK. Advocates say one in ten drivers admit to abandoning injured cats, leaving owners heartbroken and uncertain. While the Department for Transport acknowledges the emotional toll, they have no plans to mandate reporting. Campaigners, led by Cats Matter, are urging Parliament to act before October, arguing this simple legal tweak could save countless feline lives and bring peace of mind to pet owners.
