Barry Haggerty, a 58-year-old chartered surveyor from Buckinghamshire, claimed he ran over the cat 11 times because he wanted to put it out of its misery.

I can see it now.

Haggerty: (slam, vroom, vroom, screeeech)

Cat: "Meow"

Haggerty: (slam, vroom, vroom, screeeech)

Cat:"Meow"

Haggerty: (slam, vroom, vroom, screeech)

Cat: "Meow"

Haggerty: (slam, vroom, vroom, screeech)

Cat: "Meow"

Haggerty: (slam, vroom, vroom, screech)

Cat: "Meow"

Haggerty: (slam, vroom, vroom, screeeech)

Cat:

Haggerty (to shop owner): "I'd like to return this cat."

Don't know why, but this brings to mind the Monty Python "Dead Parrot" sketch which immediately precedes The Lumberjack Song.

No cheers, though, in honor of the cat. (See my Freeper Home Page)
