crappy about what happened this AM, but I am so sick of pet owners who do not/will not keep their pets under reasonable control for thier own safety.

So, I get in my bronco to take my daughter to school in the next township over (since our local school sucks I wont have her attend there), on my way back about 4 blocks from my house, I was comng up the street, not even going 20 mph, out runs a tiny little kitten so fast I could not stop to avoid hitting it. Sadly, I heard it yowl, and when I stopped, it had already disapeared out of site. So, I feel horrible about this. But I am so sick of ppl who claim to be owners and ppl who love thier animals, yet they let them run the streets for things like this to happen. Our city does nothing for the cats cause they say the "cats own the ppl", why is it we have laws for dogs but not cats? How can a cat own a person? I dont see that cat going out to work for its persons food stuff, nor paying the household bills, etc.... someone wanna tell me how a cat owns a person and there is no laws to govern cats and the keeping of them?

This is the 2nd cat within a month that has gotten hurt/killed because of its "owner" not keeping it under control of some sort. The first was in my engine compartment earlier this month without me knowing it until it was too late. Grrr, ppl!
