Drivers are not required to notify the police, the SSPCA or a vet when they hit a cat but they are legally required to do so for other animals, including dogs.
The death of a well known cat who captured the hearts of Edinburgh residents has prompted calls for a change in the law.
The Public Petitions Committee debated making striking a cat a reportable incident in Westminster in January, gaining cross-party support. She added: "We were lucky because everyone knows him. I dashed to the vet and he got slightly better overnight, but the prognosis wasn't great."He would not have had the life he loved and would have been miserable."
