Hi Philip and Paula,

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost one of mine to a road accident a few years ago (not in FH - he was living with my mum at the time, out of London) and it was awful

I didn't move her body - I'm slightly ashamed to say that I was too squeamish to touch her, beyond checking that she was dead. She was just lying on the pavement up by the fence and didn't look obviously injured from what I could see. I hope the council get in touch with you soon.

There are feral cats in the area and lots of foxes too. I try to believe that none of them would attack a pet cat, but maybe another cat did muscle into her territory and scare her.
