I feel awful and I don’t know what to do
I was driving home from school and I hit a ** cat. It ran out into the road so quickly, and I swerved to avoid it, but I still somehow hit it. It started having a seizure, and was bleeding everywhere. I didn’t know what to do. I called the police, let them know what happened. The cat didn’t have a collar or anything, so they legally couldn’t do anything about it, but I feel so upset with myself for hitting it. I love animals. I have two cats and a dog, and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. If it wasn’t a stray, I know their owner is going to be so upset about this. I can’t bear to know how they’ll feel. I’d hate myself more than I already do. I don’t know what to do. I know with time I’ll get over it… but, **, man. I just can’t. I don’t know. I know it wasn’t my fault, it all just happened too fast. Animals don’t know any better. Cars are dangerous. Part of why I didn’t really want to get my license.
I feel for you. It is such a shock when this sort of thing happens. Good on you for caring.
