A cat died in my arms today

I was driving to my parents house this afternoon when I spotted a beautiful tabby cat, lying on the road. Its tail was moving and so I stopped immediately, picked it up and had a look.
It showed no obvious injuries, but with a bit of experience it was plain to see that it was hurt, highly probably beyond all hope.
I carried it to the house beside the road cause I presumed its owners lived there, which turned out to be right. On the way the cat lost control over its bladder, went still and was gone. I can only hope it didn´t have to suffer for long.
I guess I can be glad that it died so soon. I´m able to "finish off" birds and rodents when they´re in pain, but not a cat. A trip to the vet would probably only have prolonged its distress.

I presume it was an accident, something that will just continue to happen, probably not even due to a fault of the driver who hit the cat.
BUT what I will never understand is, that the he/she, and others passing by in their cars, did not even bother to stop to have a look.
With luck it could have "only" been a broken limb.
But they left it lying there, in the middle of the road, to be hit by the next car.

So much for our so-called civilized society, always quick to criticize other cultures...
