Sometimes a cat may require CPR after being injured by a moving vehicle. If you're tending to a cat in a roadway or driveway, move your cat out of the way of traffic before beginning CPR. If possible, have someone drive you and the cat to the nearest animal hospital or your veterinarian. That way you can perform CPR on the way. Ensure that she is lying on his side on something comfortable such as a coat or blanket. This will help your cat conserve heat and feel more comfortable. With the cat on his side, tilt his head back a little bit. Open his mouth, and use your fingers to extend the cat's tongue. Look to see if you can see an obstruction in the cat's throat. If you can't see anything, gently sweep the inside of the mouth with your finger to feel for a foreign object that may be obstructing the airway. If you feel an obstruction, determine if you can remove it with your fingers or if you need to use abdominal thrusts. Do not try to remove the tiny bones in the back of a cat's mouth. These are part of the cat's larynx. If you cannot dislodge an object from your cat's throat using your fingers, you can try to use abdominal thrusts. First, lift the cat, so his spine is up against your chest then use your other hand to locate the bottom of the cat's rib cage. If the cat is not struggling, clasp both hands under the last rib. If the cat is struggling, hold the cat by his scruff with one hand while making a fist under the last rib with the other. Press your fist or clasped hands to the cat's body, and push up. Repeat this upward thrust five times. Do not attempt to do this if your cat is conscious and seems upset. Put him in a carrier and take him to the veterinarian right away. If the object does not come out; you should turn your cat over and give him five blows on the back. Position the cat over your forearm so his head is dangling toward the floor and you are supporting his body with your arm under his hips. Use the hand not holding the cat to locate the shoulder blades. With the open palm of your free hand, strike the cat sharply between the shoulder blades five times. If the object does not dislodge, try using your finger to remove it again, and keep cycling through the removal methods until you remove the object. Once the object is dislodged, move on to check the cat's breathing, and begin or continue CPR procedures as needed. If the cat is not breathing, you will need to immediately give the cat two rescue breaths. To deliver rescue breaths, close the cat's mouth with your hand and gently extend the neck to straighten the airway. With the cat's mouth closed, cup your hand around the nose and put your mouth to the cat's snout. Breathe directly into the cat's nose for 1 second. If you feel the breath go in, give another breath and resume CPR if the cat has no heartbeat. If the cat has a heartbeat but is not breathing, continue rescue breathing at a rate of 10 breaths per minute until the cat breathes on his own or you reach help. Make sure to keep checking the cat for a heartbeat, and if it ceases, begin compressions. If the breath does not go in, straighten the neck and try again. If it still does not go in, recheck for an obstruction. Place the cat on his side and wrap your hand around the cat's chest behind the front legs. Your thumb should be on the side of the chest facing up and the rest of your fingers under the cat. If using this position, you will squeeze the cat's chest to perform the chest compressions. If you cannot easily span the cat's chest with your hand or the position is uncomfortable for you, place one hand on the side of the cat that is facing up. Then, position your hand(s) with the heel of your hand against the chest wall. Make sure that your elbows are locked, and your shoulders are directly over your hands. Depending on whether you are using one hand or two, squeeze or push down on the chest hard enough to compress it to 1/3 to 1/2 of its normal depth, and then, allow it to return to normal depth before compressing it again. Avoid leaning on the chest or allowing it to remain partially compressed between compressions. The rate of the compressions should be 100 to 120 per minute. A common recommendation is to compress the chest to the beat of the Bee Gees' song, "Stayin' Alive." After giving the first 30 compressions, check the cat's airway and breathing again. If the cat has resumed breathing on its own again, then you can stop performing the compressions. You should continue giving the cat CPR until the cat starts breathing on its own and the heart begins to beat again or until you reach the veterinarian. You may need to have a friend help you if you have a long ride to the veterinarian. Follow this cycle of CPR measures every two minutes: Deliver 100-120 chest compressions per minute along with one rescue breath for every 12 compressions. Check for heartbeat and respiration. Repeat the cycle.

Summary: Get your cat and yourself out of danger's way. Place the unconscious or semi-conscious cat in the recovery position. Check the cat's airway. Perform abdominal thrusts if needed. Deliver rescue breaths if needed. Perform chest compressions if needed. Continue administering CPR.
