Police are investigating a claim that a cat was tossed from the window of a car going approximately 100 kilometres an hour on a highway near Dannevirke.
Taylah Mcewen said in a post shared more than 7000 times on social media that she saw the cat being carelessly thrown from the black Mercedes Benz on State Highway 2 on Wednesday evening.
"That poor cat was jumping all over the road with probably a broken back or neck," she wrote.
"Hope karma gets you."
Mcewen told Hawke's Bay Today she still didn't know the cat's condition.
