Tonight at about 12.15 am while travelling back home from Brora, I was approaching Thrumster when a cat ran across the road into the path of my car, there was nothing I could do because it happened so fast. Unfortunately I ran over the poor animal. I turned back and saw the cat lying on the road. Because of the severity of the impact the cat was killed. It is a black and white cat, wearing a purple, velvet collar. it was obviously someones pet. I lifted the cat off the road and placed it onto the stone verge.

The accident happened between Thrumster house and Thrumster garage. I am so sorry, but there was absolutely nothing I could have done to prevent the accident from happening. If anyone reading this knows who the cat may belong to please pm me.
