my beautiful long haired ginger and white year old cat was killed on our lane tonight. She had it coming to be honest, as she seemed to enjoy sitting in the lane watching for me walking up to the gate. Most people were kind enough to slow down, or go past her .....probably one of the boy racers, who I have seen driving at high speeds. Its a single track lane, with passing places.
I had fed the cats, and she was there then. I had gone to milk the goats, and she must have been waiting for the goats milk to arrive, and obviously in her spot on the lane.......at least someone, maybe another car driver, had lifted her to the side of the lane, and my head torch picked her up, as it was dark when I came back.
I have been lucky with my cats, and only lost one in all the years I have had cats there. I am worried about the two ginger females now, although they go on the lane, they do not sit there .....but thats not to say they will not be knocked over.
