There is a chance that the cat perched up under a vehicle (pickup), like a lot of cats do. Being a kitten, it might have hung on in fear, and either jumped or lost grip going down the road. I wouldn't assume the worst, be judge and jury in your minds, and lynch a human without a trial. Sounds like 150 yrs. ago think'n. Indeed, it's unfortunate for the kitten.

You are absolutely right. Let me tell you why though, we make that judgment call.

We live right off a major artery highway. Highway 49 in Jones County, Georgia. It connects Byron to Macon to Milledgeville and beyond. It is a heavily traveled road. Our driveway is about 1/4 mile up from that intersection.

Over the years, we have taken in several stray animals people just dump off out here. It's a known dumping spot. Even animal control cruises this area regularly. Three or our present cats are strays we took in that way.

So, forgive us if we made a snap judgment. Your theory is certainly possible and one I would like to think of as what happened. Part of the reason I posted it on Facebook asking people to share. I am hoping maybe a neighbor is missing a kitty and gets in touch to claim it.

Although I think that is the much less likely scenario.........sorry, it's just the human in me. Forgive me for being cynical.

One of our own cats just recently showed back up after being gone over three years. He has injuries too that we cannot attend to as of yet. One of his eyes is injured and both his ears have torn spots.

Plus there is another stray cat making regular appearances outside now. That puts our total up to ten. Four outside and six inside, including the new kitten.
