I'm sorry for any cat people on here with free roaming cats who don't agree, but it's not nice for the rest of us to have to kill the animal because it's not contained in a safe environment. Then I have to hear it and see it dying, because I had to run over it. I have to tell you that makes me feel horrible, but there is not a darn thing I can do about it. I have to cry and feel guilt over killing it.

The cat who died in my yard was killed by my dogs, they have a high prey drive, thus I don't have cats. They have never done anything before or since like it, but it was still horrifying for ME to have to see and deal with a dead cat in MY yard, because someone else didn't keep their pet contained. I have a high 6 foot privacy fence to keep my animals safe and contained, I just wish cat owners would keep theirs contained as well. I don't enjoy death of any animals, especially not because I ran over it or it came into my yard.

Ranting done. I just feel like crap because it's dead now and I feel it's the owner's fault that I have to feel this way and cry over it.
It is the owner's fault. Not that that spares your sensitive heart a moments grief. I am sorry. RIP, sweet kitty, and special thoughts to you.
