My Lives have run out - 9/9

I'm sure we have all heard the saying "cats have 9 lives" and I am also sure we have all heard the saying "it costs nothing to be a good person."

Last night on my way home, we passed I very tragic sight. A cat had been knocked down and left to die. People drove by as if nothing had happened. As if a soul and a life had not been literally just been taken.

People protected the tires of their cars to ensure they didn't ride over him/her again because of the mess that would be made, not because of respect and courtesy for the cat that had just been knocked down and killed. The body was still warm, I feel like we were just too late, had we stopped sooner maybe we could have gone for help.

Look I get it, accidents happen, although they happen to often, they happen nonetheless. But my question is, Is it that difficult to show some emotion and stop your car, get out and at least move the poor animal onto the side of the road, or something to prevent further damage to its body?

Well, APPARENTLY it is too difficult to be human, to have feeling. It is too difficult to get out of your comfy car and it is too difficult to be human.

Just because there are strays in every area, does it mean that they wont be missed? Does it mean that their companions won't notice they are gone? Does it mean that if and when they are injured they are meant to die? Does it mean that they should just be driven over enough times that they become part of the tar? Does it mean that they are not lovable? Because I can answer every single one of those questions. NO it doesn't mean any of that at all.

So I would like to take the time to apologize to this poor cat, for what has happened to you.

Although it was an accident, you should have never been left in the middle of the road. I am sorry that some people have no heart, and that your final moments was in fear. I'm sorry that I didn't get there in time, and your heart had stopped seconds before I made it to you. I'm sorry that your time was cut too short in a tragic ending. I'm sorry that just because you were a wild cat, no one cared. I'm sorry that your friends will never know where you are. R.I.P Sweet soul .

This was my first official attempt at a rescue and saving a life, to which I have failed. Not only did I fail, but the entire human race. I stood there in complete and utter disbelief, and I realized how will I ever do this? How will I ever be strong enough to know that a life is gone and I am right beside it? The truth- I never will, but I will continue to do whatever I can to change as many little lives as possible. And so I leave you with this-
