I'm so upset


I killed a poor cat this evening. Poor thing ran out infront of me on the duel carriageway. I couldnt stop because of the weather and traffic behind me, nor could I turn and go back and no where to pull in
Poor dear sweet kitty xxx I am so very sorry xxx

Re: I'm so upset


I know and thankyou but I just cannt get the image out of my mind and how sick I feel when i think of hitting the poor creature.
Such a lovely looking cat, cannt stop thinking, if only I had left the area five minutes later or taken a different route...

Re: I'm so upset


I understand how you feel Elaine, but it was an accident. If you didn't hit the poor thing, I expect someone else would. I'm so very sorry. ((hugs))
