Dead cat

[mudskipper]

It probably belongs to one of your neighbours - do you feel up to knocking on a few doors? I'd certainly appreciate it, even if the news was bad.

WSS. Would be awful to get one of those 'lost cat' notices in a few days and have to confess to distraught owners that you'd binned it.

Failing that, you could try one of these. http://www.amazon.co.uk/101-Uses-Dea.../dp/0517545160

Wait for the reward posters to go up. Then call and ask if the reward is for return dead or alive.

Hang it by a bit of string from your gate with a note: "Found - any chance of a reward?"

Complete Uses of a Dead Cat

Not being a pet owner/lover, what should I do with the body?

Take it to the local Chinese foodie emporium.

On my drive.

My guess is it was struck by a car last night and made its way into my drive and snuck under my car.

Dump it anonymously or is there some humane procedure that will enable the (unknown to me) owner determine what happened to their cat.

When a cat died on my drive, I rang the council and they came within 40 minutes to pick it up. Shoot! I pay enough in poll tax - it came in handy.

What about the (probably) very upset owner who's lost his/hers beloved cat? Come on guys.

Very difficult one. Our cat ended up dead on our driveway two years ago - evidently hit in neck (as chip no longer worked) and cost £45 to dispose of. Obviously you don't want to pay that for someone else's cat. And you can't hold onto cat forever waiting for the owner as it will start to smell.

I do hope RSPCA or some other animal charity can help.

You're doing the right thing. Cats go missing all the time due their quizicle (hope that spell checking guy doesn't work Saturday's) nature, especially if you live near a takeaway, hence the '7 lives of a cat' saying.

9 lives Shirley?

Always call the council. They are used to this, they will come and collect it, scan it and notify the owner. Do not just bury it etc.

Most cat owners know to call the council if their cat has gone missing and suspect it has been run over.
