Being alert and aware of your surroundings while driving is imperative for your safety. But never has that alertness and awareness been tested with a kitten running alongside the highway before, until this story…

Ok, it was not a predetermined test, but you might argue that the Cat Distribution System set this one up to check the alertness and awareness of the cat loving drivers on this pawticular road. Either that or it was a test specifically for the hooman who actually saved the speedy kitten to see if she was responsible enough to care for such a cute creature. Luckily our heroine's reaction time was on point this day and within seconds she managed to react and secure the kitten safely. A move that would have been much harder for most hoomans than it was for her, but seeing as the CDS set this opportunity up specifically for her, you could argue that she had some help.

Either way one more kitten has been collected from these sorrow-filled streets we live in and given the kind of warm and loving home that it deserves.

  • Well, this is certainly impressive. To have such speedy reactions, especially while driving in the fast lane is beyond what we would expect from even Formula One drivers. It takes a whole lot of awareness and concentration to be driving that fast and still be able to process all the information in front of you, no less when it comes to realizing that you need to make an emergency stop to save a kitten who had little chance of surviving his situation. What a good driver and a good samaritan this woman turned out to be and thank goodness she was not caught by the cops.

    I am forever grateful to the CDS for my gift :) I love him. Even though he steals my bagels right off my plate.

  • Heck we would love him because he steals bagels off our plates. What an amazing weight loss hack. One of the hardest things to get a handle on is portion control and if you have a kitten who routinely steals your food off your plate then there is a good chance your portions will be controlled for you. That is unless you decide to become some sort of animal yourself and scoff your food each time it is put before you. But if it were us we would opt for the kitten food theft option.
