Sorry to hear this Kevin, it`s not a nice feeling. About 15 years ago when i had a side car on my bike, i cleaned up a young cat on my way home from work. I picked up the cat (she was dead straight away) and looked in the yard it came from. Saw a heap of toys and placed the cat in the side car out of sight. I knocked on the door and described the cat quietly too her, turns out it was her daughters cat. She placed the body in the boot of her car so the child would not see it. Don`t know how she dealt with the issue, glad i did not have too.
We have 3 cats here, a grumpy 10 year old and 2 psychotic 2 year olds. Never a dull moment here.
