Why I'm a dog person...

At first I was a little upset that I just killed an animal. Then when I pulled over and say my front end, I was ready to turn around and go find that cat so I could kill it with my bare hands!
The statement above sure does not seem to match the screen name (or what it implies)
Now don't git yur panties in a bunch......just jerkin yer chain

If you think about it, when a cat runs it can easily do around 25 miles an hour. So imagine out of the corner of my eye I see something small and low running towards me from the left. Evasive maneuvers? Ah, I turned the wheel to the right but there are cars parked along the street and a curb. Hardly much time to react and, UNFORTUNATELY, I hit him.
The time in which it all occurred was faster than it takes to read this sentence. I ain't kiddin'.
Christian88, you did what you could and you did nothing wrong...

Appreciate that. Thanks for seeing it the way it was. You know, you have less than half a second to respond when it runs out of the complete dark into your field of vision. Didn't know we had so many drivers on here with "cat-like" reflexes that could have stopped within 2 feet, pet the cat, and then fed it some milk before driving away. Thanks for the support.

LOL! my friend's JDM lip on his Honda Accord breaks ALL the time because of a cat running across the street. He broke his lip at least 7 times in the past 3 months! The picture reminded me of his JDM lip torn apart on his JDM lip hit the cat.. hahaha!
