My cat was hit by a car. Did he suffer or was his death instant?

Question

Did my cat have an instant death or did he suffer? He was hit by a car a lady brought his body back to me there wasn’t any blood on his body just blood coming from his nose and mouth does this mean his death was instant?

I'm so sorry to hear about your poor kitty! It's impossible to know exactly what happened if no one saw it - but if he was found next to the road, then I suspect he probably died pretty quickly or possibly even instantly. The blood from his nose & mouth suggests he was hit with a strong impact, and animals who are directly hit by vehicles often pass away very quickly, and often lose consciousness immediately. I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope this helps a little bit with closure.
