Council Grass Mower Kills 2 cats

This was in my local newspaper today. It's quite horrific the injuries to the poor kitties so if you get upset at stuff like this I wouldn't read it.

That's awful poor things.
I would have thought the noise of the thing would have scared the cats off but clearly not.

Re: Council Grass Mower Kills 2 cats

It's horrible of course, but very odd too, cats would run a mile at that sort of noise, you would think. Unless they were both deaf but that doesn't seem likely.

Re: Council Grass Mower Kills 2 cats

I was reading the comments on the link and someone had made a very good one, if the cats were hit by the mower and their legs were damaged, then how did they then get out of the path of the mower? I can't imagine any of my cats sitting in the path of anything as loud and scary as a mower.

I just can't read it, it sounds too awful. I'm still freaked out by the stuff about urban youths foxhunting with staffies, that's enough gruesomeness for one week. Talking of mowers, I stopped using an electric one because I injured a frog and felt so guilty. I bought one of those oldfashioned pushalong things.
