Meet the Donegal cat run over FIVE
times in one day
10.04.17
MEET the tom cat who
refuses to be road-kill after being run over FIVE
times in the one day.
The ginger m – ale was negotiating terrain near a
busy Donegal roundabout when he was hit by a car.
A local volunteer with Animals in Need happened to
be driving by and "watched in horror" as the cat was
run over four more times as she pulled in to help
him.
But the fizzy feline clearly didn’t want to be Dead
& Ginger or brown (ginger) bread either and
survived, cartoon-like, to purr another day. |

Ginger dodger:
Beautiful Donegal Town cat that refuses to be road kill. |
The charity told amazed
followers how the “small tiger” incredibly survived
cat-astrophe, adding that the feisty feline ended up
with just a scratch after his ordeal.
"Thinking the cat must be dead after this, she
nevertheless went to check on him as he lay in the
middle of the busy road and as she did, he weakly
raised his head in a daze,” the sanctuary said.
"She stopped the traffic and lifted the cat away
from the road to put him in her car at which point
he came to and gave her a nasty bite for her trouble
and then went completely wild inside the car."
The "hissing ball of fury" was taken to a local
cattery and subsequently transported to a vet for a
check-up.
"Although he most certainly used up a few of his
nine lives with this escapade, the vet check
revealed that all he had suffered was a scratch to
his nose. The bitten volunteer also had to visit a
doctor and has received treatment for her wound,"
the charity added.
The volunteers quipped that last Thursday's capers
were "straight out of a comedy road movie". They
also appealed for any owners of the "semi-feral"
feline to come forward to claim him. |
