I saved a black cat!

I had never happened since I have the license to drive.
To part of the night often do not see in the dark when passing animals and people crossing the streets.
I was driving with my the big car (see photo) on a suburban street, when I see to pass suddenly in front of my car with a speed of 70/80 km/h, a very beautiful black cat.
He was scared! Why front to my car there was another car at speed more me, and would invest the little cat that was standing fearfully.

But after that machine there my car at to follow , what having seen the cat frightened by the first machine, which with an unbelievable readiness of my reflexes and love for animals, I have saved the cat who wanted to pass in front of me.

My speed was almost dangerous to stop my car unlike that first car that do has speed more.
One can say that I has do in time (almost touching his black body).
And after I stopped, I looked with love and smile to the black cat that had stopped to look at me.
As thanking me, he wanted say.

Thank God, I saved the black cat. But I do not believe to the superstitions of those who invest the black cat brings bad luck.

What do you think of my story?
Is it happened to you too bad some misfortune on the poor animals?

Good driving Ugo! You must have cat like reflexes lol. I believe black cats are meant to be bad luck if they cross your path. But that's only if your superstitious which i'm not. Unfortunately i've ran over a few foxes and rabbits over the years. Part of my work route is through some country lanes and there are a lot of wild foxes and rabbits throughout these lanes. Most of them are quite small and hard to spot til it's too late because they charge out of the side hedgerows so damn quick. I don't even get a chance most of the time to even touch the brakes. They really that fast.

Ha! Ha! That is the funniest looking car I've seen in a long time. No disrespect, it's just different than what I'm used to seeing.

Congratulations on your reflexes, Ugo! Nicely done.

I had a similar situation a couple of years ago, too. A cat decided it had to go in twilight right over one of our busiest streets. I automatically stepped on the brakes, hard. The cat got safely over the street - and I was lucky that no car was immediately behind me. If a following driver would have hit me, I would have been given at least part of the fault, for stopping "just" for a cat.

But you can't help your reflexes, can you?

"My" cat wasn't black, though, just a normal colored cat.
