I SAW A CAT HIT BY A CAR LAST NIGHT! :o(
I haven't written here in a while, but I"M really really upset and
looking for some support. Last night about 12am midnight. I had my cats outside in the front yard. One on a harness and long leash and the other just free. We do this every night when I get home from work. Anyway I was also baby sitting my 4mo old grandson so I had him on the porch in his seat. I saw a cat by the field basically right in front of my house. Since I didn't want my loose cat to get in a fight with him, I started walking towards him slowly and talking really low like "hi kitty". He ran from me and a car hit him, I got so upset, I heard him get hit hard and start screaming(meowing)'! I started screaming as well. And ran the baby in the house and called my daughter to get home now!I felt like I couldn't breath. I went out and looked for the kitty but he was gone? I know he was hurt really bad. I cried ALL night. I can hardly see out of my eyes today. Should Iook for him today? Or what can I do? I'm so worried that he/she is really hurt somewhere and there's nothing I can do, I was going to take him to the Animal Hospital. They said that they would put him down. Everyone things I'm silly for being so upset but it keeps playing over and over in my mind. I'm sooooo sad and upset for the poor little baby. |

Try not to beat yourself up over it. You were just trying to help and it was a freak accident. Yeah, if it were me I'd get out and try to find him. If he's injured badly, he probably won't be too far. Look "low"...under shrubbery and places where a cat would hide. Maybe you can enlist the help of some friends or neighborhood kids who can help you search. I don't think it's silly at all. I found a cat last week who'd been injured on the side of the busy highway, took it to a vet and it died on the table. I squalled for two days. Good luck. Sherry |

I don't chase them because they seem to be feral. They catch and eat bugs around the street lights at night, and I leave out dry food for them. You do have my sympathy!

Everyone things I'm silly for being so upset but it keeps playing over
and over in my mind. I'm sooooo sad and upset for the poor little baby. I hate people who think that caring about animals is "silly." I certainly know what you mean and those people who don't understand that animals also feel pain and fear are morons who don't deserve to live themselves. That said, yes, I certainly think you should look for the cat. If he isn't dead, he is probably seriously hurt. I hope, for his sake, that he did die immediately but it's possible he is lingering somewhere and I'm sure, as Sherry said, that he is fairly close by...no doubt in some bushes in that field. It's very sad. There is another post in here today about another cat who was killed by a car ("My cat..." thread). It's all too sad.
