Could Hugo the cat change the law on reporting animals hit by vehicles?
A well-known Edinburgh cat, taken to the hearts of the residents of the city's west end, is at the centre of calls for a change to the law.
The cat's owner, Jane Rutherford, said: "He was a big wanderer - always crossing roads. He crossed that road for four years."Hugo was discovered by a kind neighbour in Palmerston Place who immediately took him to the vet and then called Ms Rutherford. Hugo was originally a rescue cat Ms Rutherford adopted in Doha, Qatar. They lived in Abu Dhabi and then Spain before settling back in Edinburgh a decade ago.Ms Rutherford added: "Not so much at home as he was always out. But like today when I walked along William Street, It was sad because I expected to see him there."
"Accidents will sadly always happen, but we shouldn't accept that it is legally okay to then leave the scene.
