I was driving on one of the busiest stretches of freeway in my city, in
a 3 lane construction zone. Traffic was quite slow, about 15 MPH.

Gave me plenty of time to see the lifeless body a small, all black cat,
with a collar, lying next to the road.

Beautiful looking, with glossy black fur :-(

Because it was a construction zone, there were no shoulders to pull off
onto.

There was no way for me to stop and pick up the poor kitty.

When I went back later, the black cat was gone.

I do hope some other cat lover picked up the poor kitty, and tried to
find it's humans. Or at least gave it a respectable burial.

I home it wasn't the Dept. of Transportation, with just a garbage bag.

Poor little black kitty. I can see some children waiting for it to come
home....sniff.

I have to go hug Kenzie, and give her some scritches, and piece of the
turkey ham I bought for my big 'Thanksgiving dinner' (A sandwich...,
just like last night, sigh).
