Animal suicide

I saved a cat from killing himself ( or herself; I didn't get a good look) today. While I was waiting at a light this morning, I saw this poor animal limp under the car in front of me. It didn't come out the other side. When I looked carefully, it was lying under the car, waiting for death. I parked the car (much to the dismay of the drivers behind me) and when the car in front moved, the cat was still there. I tried to pick it up, but it hissed at me and ran off. I'm sure it is not much longer for this world, as it looked to be in bad shape. Still, I couldn't stand to see it get run over, so I "talked it down." I feel so much better.
