Oh god, I feel so awful.  This morning I ran over and killed my last remaining guinea fowl.  I am devasted.    It was raining and she must have been sheltering under the car.  I always look by the car and out of my window when reversing but never thought to look underneath.  I feel sick.  My husband said better her than the cat.

Well, it was quick so no pain for her.  But it does happen - our neighbour reversed over his working collie with his JCB, our son's FiL set off with their terrier sitting on top of a tyre (whoever would look there?) and killed it, my mum years ago reversed over our blind cat.  Mostly it's small children standing behind big 4x4s in the blind spot
  .  Don't blame yourself Cinderhills - it was an accident, horrible but could have been worse.

My wife once ran over almost an entire clutch of chicks who were all sheltering under the wheel of her car. I think about 3 survived out of twelve and my brother drove into a pony that was asleep in the road in the new forest.

I ran over my 18 year old Maine Coone cat - I had all the children in the car, she died in my arms in front of them    terrible accidents DO happen, it wasnt' your fault

Thanks everyone for your replies.  Your stories were all very sad.

I started up my landrover only to hear terrible screeching coming from it I thought that it was the fan belt and opened up the bonnet to find a cat caught up in it. Unfortunately it died, I felt terrible as it was my Jack Russell that had chased it under the Landrover and it was my friends cat.

many years ago i ran over one of my beloved dogs, he died in my arms, wagging his tail at me......i'll never forget it!
