Gato Muerto


So I have never been an animal lover but I have never felt so bad in my life and it really changes the way I think about animals. I was driving in a dark neighborhood that was a shortcut to a store. The sides of the street were lined with cars, making it narrow. Well its late so I'm driving a little fast and looking straight ahead when from out between some parked cars came a cat. Well I really didn't have time to stop when thump I felt like I hit a speed bump a little fast. I look in my rear view and I saw a cat running around in circles. I thought at that point maybe I only grazed it. So I kept going. Well before I got home I felt a bit guilty so I drove back to see if it was ok but there it was dead on the side of the road. I could guess it bleed internally.

Well I don't run a pet cemetery and really didn't want any more to deal with this so I went home. But I sat thinking how helplessly stupid animals are. I mean that damn thing ran out into the street exactly as I drove by. What is that! So people, take care of your animals, they need you.
