Sleep softly, sweet Smokey. Prayers for your family.....

Thank you all so much for your kind thoughts and words.

Sadly, tonight on our way home we saw yet another fatality on the side of the road, only a few yards from where I found Smoky. My hubby is PO'd and can't imagine how someone may find pleasure in intentionally running over an animal. While we can't prove that was the case with Smoky, I do know for a fact there are people out there who are like that, and it IS Halloween where incidents like this rise around this time of year.

RIP Smoky, and the poor little housecat we found tonight

I'm so sorry to read about Smoky, as well as that other little housecat you found. I think we all have door darters, and it's so hard to keep them inside when they *insist* on getting out. RIP Smoky.



It's sad that people in our community find joy in running down someone's pet, or a wild animal. I know when I was growing up, my bus driver in middle and high school would PURPOSELY try to hit cats on the side of the road, and the boys in the back of the bus would egg him on. We had a few barn cats that traveled up and down our back road at that point, and he would aim at them at times. I do remember hitting him on the head at one point and really yelling and telling him off, because he upset me so badly. Granted I was a kid, but still, I told him I'd come and run him down if he did anything like that again when I was on the bus, lol. Looking back I could hve gotten in trouble, but he would have lost his job for what he had been doing.
