SIR – On the morning of Wednesday, May 8, while walking my friend’s dog on Whetley Lane, I found a white, female cat at the side of the road.

Thinking it was dead I leant over beside it. It had been run over and left there with an horrific eye injury and in pain.

I don’t know how long it had been there with people just walking by.

I asked a lady passing by to keep an eye on it while I ran to get my car. I took it to the RSPCA, but unfortunately it had to be put down.

The individual that did this was totally devoid of any compassion and decency.
