This isn't about cats, but it has been on my mind and I want to share.
The other day I was driving along a busy road that is just on the outside of London. There was a mallard duck that had just been hit by a car, and he was dead in the middle of the road. His mate, a female duck was walking around him and smelling him and wondering what was going on. They had been crossing the road together.
If I wasn't with my boss I would have started bawling my eyes out right then, and did soon after that.
All I could think was imagine seeing your mate get killed right in front of you, and then not understanding what just happened and why he isn't moving anymore. OMG, I think it is so sad.
My boss and I sat quietly for the rest of the way back to work, both of us shocked and upset at what we saw.
Thankfully, someone had gone after and removed the mallard so that the female wouldn't get hit too..By the time lunch came I drove by and they were both off the road.
RIP little mallard, you were very beautiful.
