I love cats, but I remember my driving school lessons.

"If an animal runs out in front of you, do NOT swerve to avoid it. Hit your brakes and try to stop, if you can't stop in time and hit the animal, too bad for it. It's not worth risking your life swerving your car around the road to avoid an animal."

I wish my mother knew this.... she swerves for DEAD animals, for JCs sake!


And those of you saying "good i hate cats", etc. I hope you die in a fire.

To the OP: A better person then I. I don't think i'd have the guts to finish the poor cat off and then clean it up.... 🙁

Don't sweat it. If they cared so much about it, they wouldn't leave it running loose all over the place!

that is obsurd. one could easily argue that if you cared about a cat then you would let it roam outside.
 
am i the only one that laughed like hell at the OP? i about fell outta my chair laughing when he was talking about running that sucker back over to put it out of it's misery.

in honor of the poor cat that lost it's life i have to say one thing....

"Thanks for the ridy lady!"

There's nothing worse than not knowing what happened to your pet. Do them the biggest favour in the world and tell them or a neighbour...

EDIT: imagine if it was your kitten, you'd spend the next few months putting up posters/hoping it would come home...

very true, one of my cats disappeared when I was 17. Never found out what happened to him, but I suspect some family stole him...there were always little kids petting him outside. I don't know how someone could steal someone else's pet.
Sucks you ran over the cat, but at least you feel bad about it and didn't leave it out for the possible owner to find. Sh!t happens.

i was coming back from love's after getting a couple sandwiches and an iced tea and a kitten ran out in front of me...i swerved to avoid it but it ran the wrong way and ended up underneath my wheel...i stopped and had to run over it's head to finish the poor thing off...i had smashed it's back half to the pavement and it was making all kinds of godawful noises 🙁

i don't even know who it belonged to...hopefully it wasn't some kid's kitten...i scraped it up with a stick and a cardboard box and threw it in someone's poly-cart and covered it with the box...at least the kid won't come out in the morning and find his/her kitten dead in the middle of the street 🙁

i don't have much of an appetite anymore.

I do that STILL with one of my cats that went missing almost two years ago... went door to door for six blocks in each direction.. with pics and flyers... many of the neighbors on the next block told me that they were 99% sure this one old lady had him, but when i asked if she had seen him, she denied it and there is nothing i can do. Every time I pass that block, EVERY TIME... i get a lump in my throat and say... "i love you, Martin"

I am lame that way.
 
It was either a stray, or it had a really irresponsible owner. Regardless, it was young enough that the owner would not be devastated by its death, they'll just replace it. So sad though. 🙁
