Good evening, today while I was going to get a tool from my shed, I noticed a dead cat on the ground near the garden gate and there was a foul odour coming from it.

The last time I was near that gate was about 10-15 days ago and the cat wasn't there then.

How could this cat have died like this in my garden? You can see some of its organs, how is that even possible?

Has something been eating it?

I have 3 cats of my own and there are several other cats in the area that pass through my garden, it's usually the same ones. But I don't recognise this one at all.

What should I do?

Hi there, it’s best to let the local council know as the cat might belong to someone; they’ll check to see if he’s microchipped.

Hi, where I live it’s the local council services who come out to collect the bodies of animals, including cats. Get in touch with your local council to see what they advise you to do.

Hi,

The council’s carcass removal services won’t come out for a cat. Your best bet is to cremate the remains.

Besides, whether you’re in the countryside or on the outskirts of town, there’s a whole host of wildlife around that you might not even realise is there. It’s likely a fox has scavenged the poor cat’s body, or it might have even been the one that dragged it there in the first place.
