Don't try to slow down, just nail it.
Every time I try to slow down or dodge them I always end up tagging them.
So now that's my new strategy...

i've hit a few squirrels and a rabbit. both are equally stupid, they think that if they don't get out in front of your car to cross the road there won't be an opportunity later.

After 100 years of the automobile, I'm starting to wonder when darwinism will kick in and these animals will learn to dodge cars.

I will forgive you because it was a cat.

Had it been a dog, I'm not sure I could have been as lenient... :p

Alright! You have helped decrease the cat population! I congratulate you for lessening the number of Satan's personal creatures! You know Beelzebub just took a giant dump then split it up into little pieces to make cats don't you? Anyways look what the cat did to your car! Another reason why cats ARE the evilest beings on Earth.

That's why you never change course when there's an animal ahead of you.

Unless it's big enough to damage your car (or human) just slow down, lean on the horn, and its natural instincts of self-preservation will kick in.

Well Had it been a dog I doubt it would have been as lenient on my car :p.... But I would have felt sorry for the doggy though :(

I've only hit a couple of things so far: rabbit, crow. The only thing that I felt bad about hitting was an owl. Coming home from work at 1:00 a.m. and I think it was munching on something in the middle of the road, because it looked up and perhaps the headlights stunned or paralyzed it, because it didn't move until my van ran it over. That one actually upset me a little.

Squirrels ....... This just reminds me of that commercial of the car insurance company. Did they give each other high fives after you smashed your car? LOL

a friend of mine ran over a squirel. Only the back half of it was crushed but it was still running with the 2 foot legs. So he was like, should i go back and run it over again.

Awwww :(, Yea he should have ran over it again....

Now that I think of it though this is the second cat I have hit. The first one ran under my rear tire while I was going about 80 MPH and the tire chopped it in half because I saw 2 peices go flying out the rear from my rear veiw mirror..... :-/
