I was on my way to work on a fairly busy 2-lane one morning. A magnificent large grey tabby tomcat was galloping as fast as it could, crossing my lane diagonally from the left. I slammed on my brakes and smoked all 4 tires when the cat entered the road, but but the plastic airdam under the bumper caught the cat. I was probably down to 5 or 10 mph when we hit. Fortunately, the poor thing was tossed onto the double yellow line instead of into traffic. But I couldn't stop because of the traffic.
I hope that it may have had the wind knocked out of it. But I doubt that it was that light. I can well imagine how it's people would have felt if it had been crippled or killed.
