Rejected petition Make cats protected under the Road Traffic Act 1988

Dogs, horses, pigs, goats, sheep, donkeys etc are all protected by the RTA if they are hit, however cats are not protected and don’t make the cut. There is not difference between each animal and therefore cats should be protected.
