Dead cat in the road by my house.

Poor thing.

And also with how fast these things can happen how can you be sure that the person was just carelessly speeding and not that the poor freaked out cat didnt just run out when it was too late for the driver to do anything without risk of hurting themselves?
I know this sounds harsh and I'm sorry I'm the kind of person that looks at both sides of the situation. And also the fact that I lost an indoor cat to the road because the people fixing up our bathroom accidentally didnt shut the door all of the way when they went to the truck and our cat got out and was hit by a car. And I loved that cat a bunch and it was far from neglected.
