Haven't posted here for a while, so thought I'd share something interesting that happened yesterday morning on my way to work.
So I'm driving a long, not a busy street in a residential area, and a car is comeing from the other side. Nothing too unusual, right? Well, there was a cat on the sidewalk and it walked into the road...still the shoulder area as it walked in front of a parked truck. It looked and saw the other car, waited, then watched it go and continue to cross the street, it still looked, saw me, waited, then I saw it finishing crossing the street in my rear view mirror!
That was one smart kitty that knew to look both ways before crossing the street. I was a bit amazed, and it made me happy.
When we first got our kittens, I didn't have to worry about them getting run over because they'd sprint to the backyard whenever we started one of our cars...but as of late my sister has caught sightings of them sprinting in front of moving vehicles to cross the street. So it could be very likely now that one of them could get hit.
It was funny, because I was thinking that as I was petting them that morning before leaving for work. I was thinking about how they use to fear cars and so I didn't have to worry about them, like a parent who doesn't have to worry about sending their kids to college because they know they can take care of themselves and know what to stay away from. (yeah...anime usually doesn't cover healthy fears lol)
Well, I wish my kitties would take a lesson from that cat on looking both ways before crossing the street so I don't have to worry about them ^^;
