Reason I ask is because I just had the unfortunate experience of running over a cat - heard the animal being rolled underneath the car and felt a (relatively) faint thud - good thing the car isn't lowered otherwise there goes the bumper. By the time I did a U turn the the cat was gone, so I'm assuming its ok confused.

Question is, how likely is the underside damaged?

I dont want to be the bearer of bad news but chack thouroughly. Same thing happened to a mate. He noticed an odd smell from the car some weeks later and found a toothless grinning cat staring down at him from under the wheel arch, nice and crispy.

"Your not suposed to brake for a cat or small animal in the road. Its not worth Killing yourself or another road user chances are if you do an emergancy stop"

I was giving assistance in an motor accident on the way to work about 10 yrs ago. A woman had done an emergency brake on a fast `A` road with trees at the side, she went into a tree at about 50mph as she swerved to avoid a cat. Her passenger in the other front seat took all the impact and died on the scene of head injuries as the fire brigade cut her out.
