When you drive along the road and hit a dog what’s the first thing that you are legally required to do? You stop the car. Get out. Help. Then report the incident. However, when you hit a cat you do a hit and run and just drive on. Do cats not matter? Are they not family too? I believe that cats are just as important as dogs and they do matter and I believe that a law should be passed so that when you hit a cat you just stop. Help. Report the incident. They have no voice but I do! I believe that cats lives DO MATTER!
