    Default 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.

    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.
