Did he get hit by a car?

Pic of claws included to try and get answers, not graphic, but just want to warn...

I found my cat this morning, deceased 😣had been missing 3 days, I'd walked around calling him, but he didn't return.

Poor lad was just 6 months old not even fully grown yet and had only been starting to go out the past month. I'm just devastated.

I was leafleting and asking to search Gardens today and I found him in the garden that backs on to mine. I was sure he would have wandered into a shed, I was not expecting to find him deceased.

He looked fine, no injuries, no blood, no wounds, nothing.

I've checked his claws and the two outside on left side are damaged. There are no wounds, nothing appears broken.

I just can't get my head around it. The surrounding roads aren't even busy, I don't understand what has happened. Such a sweet boy, I can't believe I've lost him at such an age.

Could he have been clipped by passing car? I can't understand why, the roads are so quiet.

Cats can and do die on quiet roads . Sorry for your loss 💐

Do you think from looking at his claws that is possibly what has happened?

When cats get hit by a car, I've been told they crawl away to hide and die on their own. It's so sad. Sorry you lost your cat OP.

Very sorry about your cat OP. Yes, looking at the damage to his claws I think being clipped by a car is quite likely.

Thanks everyone. I'm just so upset, he was 6 months old, he should have been with us so much longer. Its not fair.

I've never heard of any problems with rtas near here and there are lots of cats. I never ever thought this would happen. Poor lad. I feel so guilty
