Thread: Mad as **** and very sad.

I just buried a little Grey Tabby Kitten that someone ran over and didn't give a crap, just left it twitching in the road, I was a car down at the turn lane and saw it point blank. Me and another guy stopped our cars and traffic to get to it. He had a towel and gave me the kitten when I said I will take it home to be with my other cats. Crying like a crazy now. I wish I was able to chase the person down and tell them about it. It looked like it had missed a few meals. Someone probably just dropped it off somewhere and it didn't find a home before it got hit. People like this should exit this world in as much pain as possible IMHO.

He could have been a stray, but that doesn't excuse the driver. In either case, you probably were the nicest thing that happened to the kitten. At least the little guy found someone nice in the end.

Couldn't agree more with your conclusion. Thank you for doing the right thing for the poor little creature.

Thank you all, I will bet he was a stray, looked liked he had missed a few meals. He has got a good spot now next to 2 other cat loving cats, May he be happy and find many friends over the Rainbow Bridge. That is where ALL Cats and Dogs go when they pass away, never too want for food or friendship, I hope to go there when I pass to be with all my previous pets. I will put my car in the ditch before I run over any creature, including snakes and turtles. There is NO excuse for running over any animal IMO. (Maybe if you are being tail gated by a 18 wheeler) I might give you a pass. but only if ya'll are going faster than 60 miles an hour. I did 10 years of rescues and adoptions (Cats) for a couple of rescue groups that were operated out of Pets Smart when I lived in Buford, Ga. just north of Atlanta, Ga.

You did all you could. You did the right thing.

The world would be a better place if your reaction to what happened was everyone's.

I have tried hard to hold my tongue. I take an insult in your remarks against the other driver.

I certainly hope that there isn't a child on the sidewalk when you take the ditch to avoid a cat. Or in the car coming in the other lane.

Personally I would have ran over the cat again to put it out of its misery rather than to prolong it like you did.

I accidentally ran over my own cat once. Was under my truck and I did not know it.
Really sad day, yet an accident. Never would have wanted to do that.

To suggest that someone did it on purpose is pure speculation, I think. They may have not even known what happened.
I have cringed as an animal ran out under my wheels, yet I held my line for mine and other's safety.
Amazing how many critters have been lucky and scampered-off. Some have not.
The road is a bad place for any living creature.

I did NOT prolong anything! the poor guy was gone before I could get to it. I was a car down in the turn lane and could not get the guy ahead of me to move. I live in the country so there are no sidewalks as for the other car I will lock my brakes up and take the chance of being rear ended in order not to run an animal over. I guess we will have to disagree with each other on this topic. As for the other driver the least he or she could have done was to stop and help get the cat out of the road, they could have been distracted (I don't know) but you should pay 100 %attention to the road when you are driving JMHO ON THAT TOPIC.

Ah well. Seemingly an awkward topic. Stray kitten jets out 3 feet into the road in front of a car moving along at a fair clip.
Did the front wheel or the rear get it? Did some a-hole toss it out of the window? Worse things happen.
I suppose we don't know.
Always sad when a critter dies like that. Still....The world keeps on turning........
