I had a decent day today, at first. Decided to ride to New Buffalo, which I've done once before. Stopped at a brewery & had a hard seltzer ( I can't drink beer anymore - will go into that another time). Rode on, stopped at another place (same as last time), then rode on again. Eventually, I stopped at a meadery on the route towards home. Everything was fine until I went to leave. One of the guys there saw a cat get hit by a car, and it wandered back up onto the sidewalk. We didn't know what to do; there were no emergency vets in the area. When I first walked out, a slender black cat was there on the sidewalk, front leg twitching. I came back in. By the time I exited again not a minute later, he'd stopped moving, and from what the others said when they checked, he'd died.
It was traumatising, as it was a black cat like my old one (who'd also been hit by a car, but survived). I still feel bad, because I couldn't handle it & had to leave before they could decide what to do with it. I didn't want to start crying in front of people I don't even know. I never did, actually, and I"m not sure if that's a good thing or not. I stopped at my last 'local' stop to get some food, as I hadn't eaten in 8 hrs. It was fine, but such an awkward end for a day that had started out so enjoyable.
