Sad Sight on Morning Walk

[nancielle]

While taking Chloe out for her morning walk we encountered a very sad sight. One of "Little Houdini's" (aka Hunter aka Brat Cat...he figured out how to open the back door ages ago) buddies had had a run in with a car...and lost. His little body was still in the middle of the street and another neighborhood cat was sitting by his side, as if guarding it. A neighbor attempted to coax the surviving cat away from the body but he was having none of it. He stayed there until his friend was taken away.

Cats and car traffic don't mix. A sad story, too often repeated.

That is so sad. I remember when I was young, about 8 yrs old my Grandparent's neighboors had two puppies, brother and sister if I remember right. One ran out into the road and got hit by a car then the other ran out to see if his sister was okay and got hit too.

There were 2 dead racoons in the the road near my house this morning and I wonder if something similar happened there too. Animals and vehicles are a bad mix for sure. I get really depressed when I hit a sqirrel.

I remember the sad figures of raccoons splayed out on the midline like little tiny jesuses... last time I drove in rural Louisiana.

Riding on the trunk roads in Malaysia its very common to see monkeys that have been run over. This ride back I saw an adult monkey, one baby monkey, a kitten, Many snakes, a huge monitor lizard and some u could not tell what they had been except for some fur and bones fused to the road.

I saw one where the monkey had just been run over and the other monkeys were crying in the nearby bushes...
