Pet owner Taylor Davis demands apology from Aylesford minicab company after car allegedly kills cat in Teapot Lane An Aylesford minicab company is facing an angry backlash after one of its drivers allegedly left a pet cat to die in a hit and run accident. Molly, a boisterous one-year-old, had to be put down after nearly every bone in her body was broken when she was struck by a car outside her owner’s home in the village’s Teapot Lane. The family have demanded an apology and want the firm to make a donation to an animal welfare charity. Furious Taylor Davies is demanding an apology from a minicab firm They are also seeking to introduce a code of practice among minicab companies so they will stop and help injured cats. Molly’s owner, 20-year-old Taylor Davies, said: “It’s absolutely disgusting that someone would leave an animal to die that way, let alone someone’s pet.” The minicab, said to be from Place 2 Place, based in the High Street, was dropping off a friend of Taylor’s brother, Connor, at 10.30pm on Monday, July 7. Another friend who was driving to the house at the same time found Molly and alerted the driver, who reportedly drove off. After a friend confronted the firm on Facebook, Taylor says the comment was deleted, and when her mother Kerry called the firm she said they were unapologetic and, on one occasion, hung up on her. Molly the cat was run over by a minicab driver An online post calling for the company to apologise has been shared more than 100 times. It is an offence not to report an accident involving animals including dogs, horses and cattle, but there is no obligation for drivers to report hitting a cat. Miss Davies, a Canterbury Christ Church University student, said the family’s Jack Russell Tyke, who doted on Molly, sits where she was buried in the garden, howling. She said: “It has had a terrible effect on the family, my mum has dealt with it very badly and I have never seen my dad cry before. “It was the state she was left in which has taken such a toll. “She’s not just a cat, she’s part of the family. Nothing will bring her back but an apology may help us to move on and grieve.” A Place 2 Place spokesman said the firm had dealt with the matter privately. |

If the cat was that boisterous was it wise to let it go play on the road, it was just a matter of time before it became an Tar mat.. Cats are independent animals, very few are true pets, although not ferral they still are a wild animal at heart, The Driver done nothing wrong, maybe he was not even aware of the Cat as it thrust itself under his car, I'm sure he would not have swerved several times in an effort to hit it..and why should he stop, just so he can be lynched by the local caternity and made to pay a massive vets bill for a cat which it's owner neglected to keep control of in a proper and safe manner. |

I guess when all is said and done it would have done no harm to apologise, accidents happen. |

We have a taxi driver here who is campaigning for speed humps on his cul=de sac because his cat was run over. He had to take a week off work when it happened due to the trauma. His next cat was also run over and suffered some injuries. He cancelled his holiday for that one. There were hourly updates on Facebook giving the cats condition. I guess that some people love their pets. |
