DEVASTATED Liz Butler has lost her beloved cat Phil, just days after he was featured in the Journal due to his love of the supermarket Morrisons.

Mrs Butler, of Cotswold Close in Verwood, appealed to people not to assume Phil was a stray and pick him up after he started following her to the shop and waiting in the car park.

Phil was run over on Monday in Manor Road, and Mrs Butler is angry that the driver who hit him didn’t stop to pick him up.

She said: “He is the second cat that we have had run over here in less than two years and again no one stopped to pick him up or take him to the vet.

“My son is going to be heartbroken.”
