A cat. Suicide by car.
Saw the stupid shit sitting on the side of the road from about as far away as my vision allowed (long, straight, flat road). Took a good 20 or 30 seconds to reach it. Damn thing was looking right at the car- not around, not in another direction- right at me and my car. Two seconds before I cross his threshold, he darts out in front of me. There was other traffic around, and I'll be damned if I'm going to 1. crash into another car full of PEOPLE or 2. lose control of my car to try and avoid a stupid cat.
I just drove on after the thump. I glanced in my rearview mirror and it seemed to wriggle for a moment, and then just stopped moving. It was either seriously trying to die, or chalk it up to Darwin. Buzzards need to eat, too.
