Through your letters page my husband and I would like to pass on our heartfelt thanks to our neighbours across the road who on Tuesday morning picked up our beautiful black cat that had been run over and killed on the corner of Cleveland Avenue.

Also our thanks to the gentleman who had seen the cat whilst walking his son to playschool and telephoned our number from her collar and left us a message.

Finally I would like to say to the person who ran over my cat, shame on you for not stopping and seeing what you had done or having the decency to call us and apologise!

She might have been only a black cat to you but to us she was part of the family and we are devastated by her loss.
