Im really sorry to hear that.
One day my husband and I set off on a long journey, but heard a funny noise coming from under the bonnet. As it was a long journey we stopped to check it out in case we needed to go to the garage.
When we lift the bonnet out jumped a black cat that must have gone to sleep on the warm engine the night before. He ran off! We spent 2 hours searching for him and cancelled our trip - eventually we found him hidden in a nearby garden shaking but otherwise seemed fine.
I then spent another good hour knocking on all the neighbours doors till we eventually found his owner. He was fine
I felt terrible for the cat - but much better when we found him and returned him. I wouldnt have been able to sleep until I had. So NO WAY could I hit a cat and leave it!!!!
