Cat hit by car in Raynbird bay
On the 12th of Jan someone heading into town at about 6am hit my cat (large tabby) on the street outside my house in Raynbird Bay.
He died instantly it seems so there's nothing that could have been done, but PLEASE if you hit an animal outside a house (in our case the only house in the bay) you should let someone know or at the very least leave a note in a mailbox, it's not hard.
But being that we live on a pretty decent sweeping bend I'm going to assume it was some twonk going well over the speed limit, I've seen a lot of Peninsula residents driving like absolute madmen in the mornings on the way into town.
However, on the flipside the several drivers who came past while my wife and I were recovering his body were all lovely, to the lady in the white Swift I hope I didn't come across as rude when I waved you off.
Even so, If anyone knows anything I'd appreciate a message.
And if you hit an animal just let someone know, it's not hard and it goes a long way to alleviating the trauma.
And drive to the goddamned speed limits, once more; it's not hard.
Thanks all.

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
