| The saddest thing I've ever seen in my life.

I was driving down a residential street in my town yesterday and saw something that completely broke my heart.
I saw this older woman with a cane walking out towards the middle of the street, and I started wondering what in the world she was doing so I slowed down.
It was then that I noticed a full grown cat lying in the road in front of her.
Right as I passed her she looked up into the street and had the most terrible look of anguish on her face.
I realized then that I had just watched this woman discover that her cat had been run over.
This cat was probably a long time companion because it was full grown, she was probably a widower who loves her animals like they're her own children and I watched her discover her baby laying in the road.
I wept in my car. |

Awe that really is sad. It's partly why I've always had dogs, and never cats, because I couldn't bear to lose my beloved pets in such a heart breaking way.
My dogs only go out with me and always on a lead.
People who are not pet owners, do not understand (sometimes even laugh at) the pain caused when a pet is lost. They become family members, like children and for people like the elderly, they are vital company, something to love, who loves them back unconditionally.
I have said a prayer for her, and urge others to do the same.
What a pity the person who ran the cat over didn't have the decency to at least take it from the road and try to find out who it belonged to? That would have at least saved her the pain of discovering it for herself.
I hope she will be okay. xxxx

That poor woman!! I adore cats and I hate to see one killed in such a way. I couldn't bear it if one of my cats was killed like that.
I hope she's okay. And I hope you're doing okay, I mean from experiencing something that sad.
