Please slow down

Horrible night last night. I was trying to sleep after pulling four 16
hour shifts. I heard a horrible "thump-meow" out my window. When I
looked out the window, the neighbor's cat was in his death-throes.
Some asshole was speeding down the street and freaked out the cat, who
made an attempt across the street and was mowed down.

First, don't let your cats out if you live in the city. Secondly, if
you live in the city, think about the side-street you're breaking the
speed limit on.

I had bad feelings about this kitty since he was ranging free and
really annoying our inside cats. I feel horrible about my feelings now
- since all he was trying to do was get back home when he came up
against a machine that moved faster than he could.

Tried to warn the neighbors. They said "cats need to live free, and he
was so insistent about going out!".

They didn't see him twitching in death. Or the bystanders dragging him
to the curb so he wouldn't be hit again.

God, it so sucks to love animals.
