I was driving to work on a busy road and this small cat had been hit and left. Others were maneuvering around it but no one was stopping. I put on my emergency lights to slow the cars behind me, and I pulled diagonally across both lanes to stop traffic.

As with you, it took another woman to stop and help. The upshoot of the story is that the other woman eventually was able to get the cat to a vet. Good end for the cat. Me? The police arrived and I was ticketed for blocking traffic willingly. A hefty fine was levied. And guess what? I’d do it all over again.

If I am going to be one of the few lights shining for the good in humanity, then shine away I shall.
