There was a horrible thing yesterday, just north of Taupō. 😭 🐈 A small dark shape bolted across SH1 ahead of us, hit the rear wheel of the car in front and spun off to the shoulder. We stopped, and moved a lovely cat, now dead, off the shoulder to the grass. ⚰︎ Someone’s pet… ?

@grayareas There were no obvious houses nearby, but a short distance along was a sign to Wairakei Village. The cat seemed soft and cared for, not a feral. I posted on the Village FB page in case someone's looking for it. It was all rather horrible.
