I was driving along on the freeway today. Heavy traffic, speeds around 55-60 mph.
Something just caught my eye in the middle of the road. Looked like a rag at first.
As I got closer I realized it was a tiny kitten! In the middle of a very busy freeway, sprawled on the pavement in sheer terror, right on the white line.
I immediately turned on my 4 way lights, started breaking and pulling over to the emergency lane.
Put it in reverse once I was on the e-lane, and backed up as fast as I could.
I just took a deep breath and jumped on the road, waving my arms, yelling people to slow down, dodging cars as best as I can.
A truck driver saw what I was up to and just leaned on his horn and made his truck wider by swerving as he slowed down.
I finally made it to the middle of the road, reached down and the kitten just ran away a few feet.
Just dove after it and grabbed the frightened kitten without causing harm.
People started honking and clapping, and giving me a thumbs up.
As I made my way back to the emergency lane, an undercover cop van stopped and rolled the window down. It was full of plainclothes cops.
The cop in the front seat took one look at the kitten, and gave me a nod. They had understood what had just happened.
I sat in the car for a few minutes to catch my breath, clutching the shaking kitten.
Then I took the first exit to turn around and head back home. My wife was in disbelief.
All of the really great cats I've had showed up in a blink...
One second you're "normal".
The next second you have been adopted by NEW CAT!
You NEVER expect it...
