Hi,
Unfortunately on my way home in Kuaka Cres i noticed a cat in the middle of the road i put my stuff inside and found that it had only been hit so i picked it up as i couldn't just leave it where it was i gave it a few pats and laid it down on the grass beside the lamp post. It was a fluffy tortoiseshell not very old by the looks of it. I really wish that people wouldn't hoon round our street as there is also alot of kids who live round here. So i'm really sorry for who ever cat it is.
