Submited by Janet Blythe

A couple of weeks ago, my friend, Karen Knowles and I were driving down a divided highway in the villages, fl in the morning and she  saw a dead cat on the road and saw that it had a pink tag on it. She asked me if I minded stopping to get the cat as it for sure belonged to someone.

I told her sure. So she made a legal U-Turn and pulled off the road. I stayed with her car and she proceeded to try to cross the heavily traveled road to get to the cat. Finally, she just put up her hand to stop the traffic and went to see the cat.

It did have a tag with a name and number on it. She picked up the still warm cat and brought it over. Karen called the number on the tag and a young girls voice message came on saying she was at school and couldn't take the msg. So Karen left a message that her cat was found. but decided not to tell her that it was dead.

We caringly wrapped the cat up in paper and placed it in a satchel Karen had in the back of the car and drove it back with us to Karen's house. It wasn't until after school let out that the young girl called her back and Karen had to tell her the bad news.

Karen went above and beyond this act of kindness by delivering the cat to the young owner so that she could bury it in her yard. The young girl was so grateful and though emotionally upset was glad that her cat was brought back to her to bury herself.

Thanks for the great submission Aunt Janet
