Yes, you should tell her because not knowing what's happened is worse than knowing what happened.

How awful. You should of been more careful, if it was a child outside playing you would of been more careful I bet. I don't know how much your friend values her cat. I know my cats are like my children. If my friend ran over my cat, I doubt we'd be friends anymore. If your friend ran over your child would you be forgiving? You can't really say what you would do unless you are in that situation. However, if I did forgive her it would be because I felt she was being honest with me and if I felt she was sorry, not just trying to cover herself. IF YOU are really her friend you will tell her. If you don't, then just remember what goes around comes around and when something awful happens to you, then you deserve it. Sorry to say, that even if it was my own mother that ran over my cat, I wouldn't be very forgiving because I feel you should be watching to make sure that you don't run an animal over. It is one thing for an animal to jump out in front of your car, that is unavoidable and you can't help it. However, if you got in your car and the cat was underneath and you didn't check first, that is just irresponsible.

Of course you should tell her. Try putting yourself in her shoes to make a decision. Would you rather a friend tell you that she ran over your cat by accident, or would you rather someone else tell you that your best friend ran over your cat and tried to hide it from you?
Break the truth to her gently, also explain why you didn't tell her in the first place (if you didn't she might think you are hiding it from her). Apologise to her, and if she's angry at you after that, let her cool down for a few days. Then either phone her or go look her up again, apologise again and she might forgive you more easily.
Good luck =)

Yes, please tell her, it's better knowing the truth then wondering and worrying about what might have happened. this way she can try to put it behind and not have you wonder where her kitty is. If it was me I would like to know and it's an accident, she shouldn't be angry with you, but thank-full that at least she knows what happened and try to forget it. I know it'll be hard but a real friend will understand, you didn't do it on purpose Hope this helps you decide what to do.

If you had taken the cat to her immediately after running him over instead of making sure no one saw you, she might have had the chance to take him to the vet and try to save him. Or at least bury him nicely.
Please don't ever just leave someone's cat to die again.

You MUST tell her, NOW. She's probably out of her mind with worry (I know I was when my cat disappeared.) She needs to know the truth so she'll quit vainly searching for her kitty, and she can recover from her loss.
She'll probably dump you as a friend for not telling her when it happened, but that's the price you've got to pay. Live and learn. But it's not fair for you to withhold the truth from her.

You should have told her as soon as it happened.
Putting her though the agony of wondering about her cat, putting up posters, calling her cat everytime she's out is nothing short of cruel on your part.
A best friend would have told her immediately!

That's mean giving her false hopes. You should've told her right away. If I was her, I would lose my trust in you. It's not bad enough that you ran over her poor cat but you're lying to her about it on top of that.

Tell her: "I'm sorry (her name here), but I accidentally ran over your cat a couple of days ago.... do you want me to buy you a new one?" If she wants you to get her a new one, do it. Make sure it is one that isn't shy and is fun and playful, like a 5 month old kitten. Maybe she'll forgive you if you get her another one like hers.... if she doesnt want you to get her a new cat, try to make her comfortable... Hope this helps! :-)

You need to tell her immediately. The fact that you haven't told her already is horrible. She has every right to be upset with you for not telling her. Honesty is always the best policy, and you should tell her now, before your friendship is insalvageable. The truth will eventually come out, and its best she hears it from you.

I think you need to tell the friend with the cat that you ran over it Send her an E-mail if you can & explain this. The other alternative is shut up & maybe back off as a friend so she doesn't remind you of this. Third alternative Move!
