Change the law and give cats the same status as dogs

Petition Details

Every year around 230,000 cats are run over in the U.K. Unfortunately when cats are run over their bodies can be disposed by the council and owners never have closure about what happened to their beloved pet.

Additional Information

You are not legally required to stop if you hit a cat and can drive off, whereas with a dog you have to report it within 24 hours. Let’s get 100,000 signatures so they can debate it in parliament! Giving Cats which are the nations beloved pets, the same status as a dog!
