Overview
- KitKat, a nine-year-old store cat at Randa's Market in San Francisco's Mission District, was found injured late Monday and later died at a 24-hour veterinary hospital.
- A 311 complaint filed shortly after the incident alleges a Waymo hit the cat as it sat near the sidewalk by the transit lane and did not attempt to stop.
- A driver quoted by local media said a Waymo swerved around 11:40 p.m., after which people on the sidewalk grabbed the cat from the roadway.
- Bartender Sheau-Wha Mau said she discovered KitKat alive with a broken leg, transported him to a vet, and confirmed he died there soon after.
- Neighbors have built a growing memorial outside the market as the owner says a Waymo was involved, and reporters say the company has not responded to requests for comment.
