#4 I'm not trying to pick a fight, so don't take what I say personally. I, personally am not a cat person.
Cats are nocturnal hunters, and when we had them, they would always be out at night.
Both of them were run over, and neither survived. The only thing that bothered me was (and I witnessed one being hit) the drivers never stopped to see what had happened.
Had I been able to get a plate # I could have turned it over to local PD who would have issued a citation, but, if the drivers had stopped, nothing could/or would have been done.
I've hit a couple in my years of driving, and if there are houses nearby, I check to see if the animal belongs to anyone. If I'm out in the boondocks, oh well, it sucks to be that animal.
