goodbye kitty

i thought yesterday was an ordinary day for me. unfortunately, it became one of the most memorable day in my life. it was the day i first time (and hopefully the last time) i ran over a kitten. that officially made me a murderer.

i feel bad. it's the second cat that has been murdered by our revo. and yes, i feel terribly guilty about it. it wasn't intentional, now that i have begun loving animals. what makes me feel worse is that an old close friend of mine is a devoted animal rights and welfare advocate. i'm sorry and i'd do everything to make up for it.

i was out to just buy dinner for my family and when i reversed the car, the kitten seemed to have hid in the wheels. of course, the first person i called was ate duday. and the first thing that came out from her mouth was, "anong kulay?" thankfully it wasn't black. but nonetheless, i feel bad. ate duday loves animals but her tone was, "okay lang 'yan. eh ano pa nga magagawa mo?" being a law student, she kept reminding me that there aren't any law that would put me to jail and since it wasn't intentional anyway, i really won't be put to jail. ironically, when i went to shakey's, there was a kiddie birthday celebration. a death on a birthday, there goes the irony.

running over a cat is perhaps a worse feeling compared to having your car totally wrecked. as what ate has told me, the moral of the story is that you should check if there are kittens under the car.
