Decades ago a kitty bolted in the middle of the street.
I was less than 18, using one of those little cars that reaches at most 50 Km/h.
I slammed the break and manage to stop maybe 2 cm from the kitty, which managed to continue out of the street alive.
The scooter behind me came close to me and complained that I almost killed them by slamming the breaks.
To this day, I still don't know if that was the right call. That guy could have been a dad and I could have killed a father.
Still I couldn't think of killing a cat either.
