I just killed a kitty!

Was driving home from the health club about 40 mph and saw a dark shape in the middle of the lane at the last second. Couldn't make it out and had no time to slow down. Then it turned into the headlights and and as it eyes lit up, I saw it was longhair gray cat lying down. I swerved to the left just as he darted under my tire. CRUNCH! His iddy biddy kitty head exploded!
I feel sick.

Ah dude... I am sorry to hear that. It never feels good to accidentally kill something.
Last time I hit a bird I saw it fall to the ground behind me and watched it flapping in my rear view mirror as I drove away. When I got home, I felt so bad that I went back to the spot with a basket lined with towels and a cup of sunflower seeds. I got there but it was gone. Oh well, I tried.

No way to tell. I didn't stop because it was most certainly dead. My tire went up in the air, then there was this horrible sound like a giant walnut cracking and the tire dropped suddenly along with my stomach.
Don Juan would say it was the cat's fate. I dunno if that means anything.
I don't have a cat now, but have had several in my life. I love the little flea-bags.

Meanwhile, certain pop-psychologists from the 70's would say that you subconsciously wanted it dead. Anyway, psychobabble aside, I'm sorry you had to endure this tragedy.

I killed a raccoon accidentally once. The only consolation was that it didn't suffer. It doesn't sound like your cat did either, if that helps any.

I know how you feel. Its love unconditional were talking about here. But imagine you were the cat, knowing that you did it by mistake, with a deep resentment and guilt, do you think the cat would have you suffer for it, emotionally?
I know it wouldnt something tells me it does tho and you may have to reconcile with its spirit. Just direct your intention towards doing this, even tho you dont, just open all mind and try!
-------------------- The mind is a creative tool. It searches to protect you, through message sensations(feelings). It is no different than a computer, you need to make sure its anti-virus program is in check and that it doesnt have a script that limits your experience, because of to much precaution. And remember the computer does not appear to respond to words of anger and frustration - just give it input, in the form of new meanings that you know to be true and its messages to you and the limits it lays out for you, will change. Guilt is an outcome of believing you are the cause of the problems. Yet, we are not a cause to something, we see is negative or bad - Unless you believe your intentions are directed towards a bad outcome....

Cats shouldn't sleep in the road at night... Not your fault man. 
Besides, if it wasn't you, it would've been someone else... Maybe a young female, just learning to drive who would have been MORTIFIED by the experience...
You saved someone else the trouble, cause the cat was dying sooner or later.

I think I get it. Compassion, regret, life and death are not philosophical concerns.
Perhaps we could discuss works of fiction or lights in the sky...

You didn't frame it in those terms, and you did not pose a philosophical topic for discussion. As is, this is more of a Pub-style post.

This is my online family and I was feeling sad. To share with people I never interact with would make little sense to me - nor was I in the mood minutes after it happened to compose a deep and thoughtful essay.
I will try to be more Spocklike in the future.

The incident (and Icelander's incessant pounding) made me reflect on my own mortality and how quickly it could all end.
Then I flicked on the TV and went back to being numbed out...

Three years ago me and my girlfriend were driving through a snowstorm to go meet some friends, there weren't many cars around and we probably shouldn't have been out but we were. As we were driving I noticed something crawling out from the edge of the road and pointed it out.
Once we got closer I could tell it was a doe and when I stopped my gf started freaking out because she saw that its two front legs were broken at the knees and it was dragging itself along with it's broken stubs making horrible whining screeching noises. It was all bloodied and had patches of fur missing, clearly involved in an accident, the type of which shouldve put the animal out once and for all.
Anyway, she starts screaming at me to kill it and I'm like    But she's right, it couldn't be helped, I doubted it was going to make it much longer just looking at the sorry thing. So I went to the back of my car and got my tire iron and told my gf not to look and I beat its head in. That was really hard.. looking into the animals eyes in a moment like that I dont know its really strange.
So man-up, cat killer!

I hear ya.
My ex-girlfriend slipped on a patch of ice and broke her arm. So I went to my trunk and got the tire iron...
Seriously though, that must have been very difficult. As an engineer, I would have built it a cart with wheels.

Are you sure it was dead? Maybe it was just catatonic?

You know I got all the way to page 3 before noticing this was from 2007.
I ran over a turtle once with a flatbed and he made the same popping sound you describe. Kind of like in the sopranos when that guy's head pops in the gas station.

Oh and then there was this snake at the golf course than had been dropped by a bird or something and his guts were hanging out. Put a brick on his head and jumped on it. Same thing.
Like a little firecracker.
