A driver who says she was distracted by her cat crashed into a guardrail, which caused two other wrecks involving a jack-knifed semi near Rhome in Wise County, authorities said.
The woman (and her cat) were headed northbound U.S. Highway 287 near Farm-to-Market road 407 at about midnight when she was distracted by the cat and crashed into the center guardrail, Department of Public Safety spokesman Lt. Lonny Haschel said.
The woman moved her car to the right shoulder followed by a witness and a state trooper.
An approaching semi truck was trying to avoid the pulled over vehicles and crashed into the damaged guardrail, which was obstructing the far left lane.

Both drivers from the head-on collision are transported but neither have life-threatening injuries, Haschel said.
The driver who crashed into the guardrail and her cat were both uninjured, Haschel said.
With men it’s usually a woman. With women it’s a cat.
Oh, the metaphors here.
Technically no different than a cell phone in the eyes of the law, not that they will find that way.
My great grandfather was a Representative in the Texas Legislature in the 1900s from WISE County.
I always put mine in cages before I put them in the car. There is no reason to have a cat running loose while driving.
How true.
I remember when only old women treated their dogs like babies and took them everywhere, now you can't even go to the grocery store without morons of every age and sex taking their little mutts with them.

No one would drive with their baby on their lap.

Many will risk accidents rather than risk running over a stupid tree rat.
That is why the litter box should be kept on the outside of the truck.
Quit feeding that cat tuna!
I’m just too slow for this site on these stories
LOL

It is still common and accepted in most of the world outside the United States and a few other rich countries.
Current cat is caged for car rides, but I used to have a leash trained cat that would curl up by my left foot when I drove.
Toonces lol

Not the first time pussy caused a catastrophe.
They’d better drive safely. The air snag is not a toy poodle’s friend.
