I have been told that if you run over and injure a cat, you are legally
obliged to render first aid. It seems a little odd that you don't have
to
assist a human, but you do an animal.

But you don't have to report the accident (to the owner of the cat or the
Police). You do have to report the accident if you injure a person, or a
dog.

Dogs but not cats eh? I guess that's a throwback to when you had to have a
licence to keep a dog?
