Think we can all say this would be better if it did come into law so please sign 🐾🐾🐾
This petition is asking the Government to change the law so drivers must stop, check and report if they hit a cat, giving them the same protection dogs already have. It closes on 17 June 2026, so time is running out.
Further information about the petition can be found here:

I know we have a “no petitions” rule because the group was being flooded with them, but I’m sharing this one because it’s directly relevant, important to many here, and closing very soon. Posting this doesn’t change the rule, it’s simply to make people aware before the deadline.
It is legal in the UK to hit a cat when driving and not need to stop or report collisions, leaving them scared, alone, and in pain. Cats are important, loved, valued family members for many and we believe the law should reflect this.
