Dead cat on side of carriageway

Reported via Android in the Off the carriageway (NH) category anonymously at 22:36, Mon 15 September 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8170033.

Dead animal (cat-sized, brown) on side of carriageway westbound before junction 12, bit before marker M4 A 72.3 (I think). Previously reported but received a reply saying the animal wasn't able to be found but definitely still there as of 6pm 15/09/25.

Updates

  • Thank you for contacting National Highways about the animal on our network.

    Our team attended this afternoon following a report of a dead animal at M4 westbound, marker 72.2+50. It was confirmed to be a deceased otter rather than a cat.

    We arranged for the animal to be collected and taken to Chieveley depot, where it will be stored for collection by the Otter Society.

    Kind regards National Highways
