On Sunday evening, in the Hartford Road area of Borehamwood, I unfortunately witnessed a beautiful black cat being hit by a car.

This is a message to the family who maybe do not know what has happened, or are dealing with their loss.

I just want you to know I did my best to help and your cat was not alone. I stood in the road to prevent cars passing and stayed with your cat until she/he had calmed and came to rest.

I came home and made a few emergency phone calls. I obviously do not know the outcome.

I have not been able to drive around the area as it is too upsetting for me.

My sincere best wishes to you all.
