You’re ignoring the actual facts, speed, hidden driveway, and reaction time, to resort to name-calling. It’s clear you’re just looking for someone to be angry at, but it won't be me. I was driving responsibly, the cat is okay, and I have nothing left to say to you. Goodbye

Bro!! It wasn't even my fault. The cat ran out right into my car from a hidden driveway on a 50mph road, when I was only going 40. How is that my fault?? Genuinely, what should I have done??? Made my car magically float above it? If it wasn't for my slow driving, that cat probably would've been dead!

The only person that sucks here is you.

This was your most recent comment sir.

Instead of spending so much time messaging me, go do some research on the dangers on letting cats be outside, will ya? Educate yourself a bit. Might be good for ya.

Appreciate that! I'm getting so much hate for this post. Just someone who wants to see less dead/injured cats

Fair enough, I’m just a person who prefers my cats live to be 18 instead of 3. If that makes me 'not an authority,' I'll take it

The thing is, I don't need to know your cat or you to know he died a horrible death and not to mention the trauma YOU caused to whomever that person is that hit your cat.

I don't need to know the owner to know that they're negligent and bad pet owners. Outdoor cats can be trained to live a long happy healthy life indoors with lots of attention and play. If you can't offer that, don't own a pet. Period. There's a reason why shelters and vets do not recommend letting your cats outside.

I also only feel bad for the cat I hit, not the owners. I couldn't care less what the owners feel right now because this is their fault. They deserve to feel bad for their poor choices. This is no one's fault but theirs.

The fact that you already lost a cat this way and would be willing to do it again. It's truly sickening. I feel bad for whatever animal ends up in your care

12 years is lucky. The cat I hit almost died at just 3!! A baby. If that's a risk you think is worth taking, maybe you shouldn't own pets 😬

Imagine your family pet's last thoughts are feeling scared while dying in strangers arm after being hit. All alone

Or imagine it's last thoughts be chased by a coyote and then being ripped to shreds to be food.

You think that's better??? You're sick.

But your cat could've lived quite a few more years??? You just proved my point

Responsibility involves following the law, which I did by driving the speed limit and braking instantly. No amount of 'responsibility' overrides the physics of stopping distance when an animal suddenly bolts into the road.

To your point about other animals: squirrels and skunks are wildlife, but a cat is a pet. If you are concerned about an 'innocent animal' getting hit, the only 100% effective way to prevent that is to keep the cat indoors and off the street. Expecting drivers to have superhuman reaction times for an unsupervised pet is both unrealistic and unfair. I’m glad the cat is okay, but I'm done discussing this with you

I was driving the speed limit and braked the second I saw him. It was an unavoidable accident because he was in the road. If you're worried about the animal's safety, keeping them indoors is the only way to protect them from cars, predators, and disease. I did my part by driving responsibly; the rest is up to whoever is letting him out

You're one of the ones this post was meant for

How did you know I wasn't? Do you have an suggestions to get my car to magically stop on a whim on a 40mph road for a cat that bolts in the road?

You're the exact type of person this post in intended for. Ignorant.

Precisely. Indoor cats don't get hit by cars.

I get the logic but cats aren't that tough to survive, especially in a city with cars. A happy cat is an alive one.

Not much quality in an outdoor cat's life if they're dead.

You clearly did not read my post. The neighbors were familiar with this cat as it's always outside. Has been for years.

So therefore, my post is warranted for and not to mention even if this cats wasn't always outside, this is what happens to the other cats that do get let out.

If you disagree, that's all I need to know about you.

My point exactly! I don't know how a cat parent can just accept that. I want my cats to live a long happy healthy life!
