There was a white cat that lived near the place where I work and I frequently saw him run across the road (a 2 lane back road) and it scared me to death. I once ran outside to see if he made it across safely. This is a 35 mph zone; we've seen drivers do 50 or 60 routinely. Yes, we've complained to the police, but they can't be everywhere.

I was out for a few days last week and came back to the news that he was hit. The girls didn't want to tell me, and I was very upset. They saw his/her poor little body beside the road and thankfully one of the neighbors picked it up, put it in a box and buried it.

It's a sight I do not want to see, and sadly, I see it again and again.
