On the way home, as I was turning left, up the street to the right I saw what I thought was a dead raccoon in the street. I turned around and went back, and it was a big brown tabby boy, dead. I moved him out of the street. I'll let Animal Control know tomorrow; they bring in all road kill for ID and disposal.
This was somebody's baby; he was well-fed and in good shape. Sure puts a damper on my enjoyment of the afternoon, knowing he won't be purring on somebody's couch tonight.
A number of the houses down that street have large lots, an acre or more, so they may have thought he was safe going outside. They were wrong.
