CARER just killed my cats

I did, and came up with two pages of the OPs previous posts - she's a genuine member!

Riverwalk if you put the posters name in the search box this is the only thing that comes up for her/him

The OP has posted before - maybe she's still too upset to return, especially as a couple of responses were unsympathetic.

Think your right BlueBelle ! Little sad either way !!

It sounds a little like that headline, "Freddie Starr ate my hamster" (which was certainly a made-up story)

I agree, BlueBelle, it's the cats, plural, that makes me a bit

I think you're right BlueBelle!!!!

I feel this is a wind up
It doesn’t say two cats it just says cats in the plural so it could be a whole family of cats for all we know
Unless poster comes back I m guessing it was put on to draw a big reaction

If this incident actually happened then I would certainly report this carer to her employers. But two cats at the same time in a narrow quiet cul-de-sac sounds a bit odd to me! She must have been driving far to quickly and irresponsibly and her reaction sounds very weird!

This is an awful story, I had a cat that was run over, a few years ago, but I know how upset I was at the time. Just wondering about cats in the plural though, and laughing afterwards sounds very callous for a carer

Did she realise she had killed the cats? Does seem odd, two cats at once, my cat lazes about in the middle of our very quiet road, but dashes off when a car appears. Sorry about losing your cats, but I think you need to be absolutely sure about what actually happened, the laughing may have been at what someone had just said, or something she heard on the radio. It is a serious accusation and one you need to be certain of; maybe speak to the clients she visits and get the name of the agency that employs their carer and call them, but when you are calm and collected. Hysterical accusations and death threats will not get you any sympathy or make her employers willing to deal with this in the proper way. Sorry about your cats

Two cats at the same time

How many cats?

It sounds strange, but strange things do happen sometimes.

Is this a wind up ?
Yes of course cats get killed in fast traffic on roads but a cul de sac and a car just starting up and more than one cat at the same time and laughing , ....it all sounds very strange to me

I'm so sorry, Miepl. What a terrible thing to happen. Vent your grief and anger on here. How are you feeling now?

NanaandGrampy, cats are run over all the time!We have lost three this way in the past.

How did she run over your cats? Cats are not daft and usually run for it if they are under your car etc?

The fact that her poor cats have just been run over gives her the absolute right to vent on here. Her pain right now is unimaginable to anyone who is not an animal lover. I'm so sorry to hear this awful news.

Very emotional responses ...

IF OP is positive that a) the Carer did it and b) that she was fully aware and that she laughed about this as a fact - not about something else while perhaps being oblivious for example, then yes, I think you should trace who the carer is through her employers as a first port of call when seeking some form of redress.

I think we sometimes need to be careful with posts that we don't encourage someone to 'react' in a certain way when they may be still processing - and we cannot be in possession of all the facts.

miepl what kind of person laughs when told they have killed animals, even by accident? Shudder.
Contact social services right away to name and shame her.

Has it just happened? 2 cats?

Do not know how to react to this. What happened was dreadful but your response seems to me to be almost as bad.

I am very very sorry for your sad loss. Of course accidents happen but that is an appalling reaction.
When you have calmed down a very FIRM letter to her employers, whether private or NHS and perhaps Twitter/Facebook publicity too.
