As I was driving home on the highway there is one part where it splits from one highway to another and as I was turning on the other, this cat runs right in front of me as I'm going 60 mph and sees my headlights and freezes! I have guardrails on both sides and I tried to brake, but I wasn't fast enough, I have traffic behind me and I can't swerve without causing an accident myself.
Needless to say, the only thing I could do was keep driving and I ran the poor cat over right down the middle and broke its back in the process. I could see it twisting in my rear view mirror, but at that speed there was no way I could stop and turn around. I felt horrible and it freaked me out! I could feel it as I ran it over. I can't get that picture out of my mind. I know I couldn't do anything to avoid it, but it doesn't make me feel any better. I really shouldn't have any cats. A friend of mine drove home after me and saw it. It was dead, but I hope it didn't suffer long. I really hate myself right now.
