I hit the deer full on at about 60mph. Didn’t even have time to hit the brakes. It was a doe and she just jumped right out in front of me.

The Kansas State Trooper that responded put the deer in the trunk of his cruiser.............

Eagle: “Just my luck; look there’s a nice plump-looking pussycat. I’m going in fast.” Opportunity

Cat: “OMG, OMG, I’ve just been taken by an eagle. I’m gonna die and be eaten. My nine lives are up for sure.” Acceptance

Eagle: “I don’t think this is really worth it. This fuzzball is screaming bloody murder and will try to scratch my eyeballs out. Good-bye kitty.” Judgment

Cat: “Hooray, for whatever reason I’ve been spared. Now all I have to do is use my natural instincts to turn and land on my feet on solid ground and then run home.” Blessing

“Uh-oh, what is that car doing on that roadway, and I have no control . . . .” Calamity

Glad you weren’t killed.

I remember hearing Jessica Simpson in an interview say that her sister was killed while riding in a car that hit a horse that had run out on the highway.

Yes, it could have been fatal, but thanks to God it just destroyed the front end of my car. I stayed in a Kansas City motel for ten days while the local Ford Dealership repaired the damages.................

In Arizona, we have had bird of prey drop rattlesnakes onto cars hoods and winshields.

Never heard of one going through the windshield.

It was Hobson’s Choice, I’m sure. At least you weren’t wearing Hans Carvel’s Ring.

Aw, poor kitty. It must have been in horrible pain from those talons penetrating its body.

Our farm veterinarian used to joke that the life expectancy of our cats was $2. If he couldn’t heal them for under $2, there was nothing we could do to save them. I think that was on the high side.

I’m a bald eagle Caw-Caw!!! .....that just yeeted a cat through your windshield.

If you’ve got cut-rate insurance, you could be paying for this yourself. So get All-State, you can save money and be better protected from MAYHEM like me.........

I’ve had ring neck pheasants and turkeys commit suicide on my windshield, but never a cat. Most recently I had a hawk dive right at me and smash the windshield of my truck right in front of me on I-81 in Pennsylvania.

The Haitian version of that book is a recipe book.

“Bald eagle drops cat through driver’s windshield on North Carolina highway”. I guess the eagle thought she was a cat lady.

And the eagle thinks the shiny ground rolling thing stole the eagle’s meal.
