Should Drivers Have to Report Hitting Cats?

Did you know UK drivers legally have to report hitting dogs, but not cats? A massive petition is calling for that to change after heartbreaking stories like Kellie Watson’s, whose kitten Martha was left to die after being hit. Animal lovers and charities say it’s time cats got the same protection as dogs—after all, they’re family too!

If people have to report hitting a cat, then the cats should have to be licensed with the owner's contact information on their collar. There should be the same penalties for allowing your cat to roam free as there are for dogs.
