Dead cat

[Clippy]

On my drive.

My guess is it was struck by a car last night and made its way into my drive and snuck under my car.

Not being a pet owner/lover, what should I do with the body?

Dump it anonymously or is there some humane procedure that will enable the (unknown to me) owner determine what happened to their cat.

Poor little guy

You could call the RSPCA, Cats Protection League etc, let them know you found a dead cat and give them a description .
It probably belongs to one of your neighbours - do you feel up to knocking on a few doors? I'd certainly appreciate it, even if the news was bad.
Bury the cat in your garden if nobody claims it today.

Check the collar for a number / address?

Most cats are 'chipped' nowadays so you could contact your local vet. Else I'd burry the cat somewhere as putting out with the rubbish could attract foxes etc.

To clarify, I've a cat and 1st thing I'd do if he went missing would be a contact the local vet.

Tried a few local vets and they are all closed.

One of them is part of a group and they had a 24Hr site in Watford (I'm in Berkshire) so called them for advice and they said, on Monday, I can either take it to any local vets or call the council.

I'll bag it and place it in the bin for the weekend, think my garden waste bin is empty, to protect it from foxes and drop it off at the local vets on Monday.

No sign of a collar but didn't look carefully as my niece was due over and wanted to cover the body before she got here.

TBH, even though I'm not a pet lover and have chased this cat out of my garden a few times for sh!tting in my flower beds, still sad to see it dead like that.

BTW, thanks for the tips/advice.

No doubt the crazy cat lady will be along soon to advise

You're doing the right thing. Cats go missing all the time due their quizicle (hope that spell checking guy doesn't work Saturday's) nature, especially if you live near a takeaway, hence the '7 lives of a cat' saying.
