"Many people barely recognise the bicycle as a legitimate mode of transport; it is either a toy for children or a vehicle fit only for the poor and/or strange," Dave Horton, of Lancaster University, wrote in an interim assessment of the Understanding Walking and Cycling study. "For them, cycling is a bit embarrassing, they fail to see its purpose, and have no interest in integrating it into their lives, certainly on a regular basis." |

The relevance is that cats have 9 lives, but cyclists have only one. Plus they're apparently legally liable for nothing they do, they **** in people's gardens and they run away if you stare at them. But enough about cyclists. |

It is part of a cat's natural behaviour to range over its home-turf and not to bother too much about others it may encounter. It is probably for that reason that cat are not animals within the meaning of the Road Traffic Acts, as you almost certainly already know. |

Normal people with a properly developed sense of compassion stop to see whether they can do anything for the creature. But they're not even obliged to do as much as that. |

We apparently went over a cat in the motorbike and sidecar, in the West Country when I was very young.

The cat carried on up the bank and into a field so we didn't stop. Flexible creatures. Mind you, I expect that it is dead now. |

The cat carried on up the bank and into a field so we didn't stop. Flexible creatures. Mind you, I expect that it is dead now. I ran straight over a cat which ran straight across the street and under my wheels, in a side-street in Liverpool (Gilead Street, L7), back in the 1970s. I stopped and checked but the cat had disappeared. All I found was a trail of blood leading to an entry*. I felt sick. [* "Entry": a back alley wide enough to walk down but little else. Intended only for access to the rear doors of terraced housing, mainly for the purpose of collecting dustbins.] |
