Poor fuzzy kitten

This sad little kitten never had a chance. It was probably a little fluffy love toy for one of the neighbor kids, before it got out and went to investigate those loud noises on the road. Poor thing, I bet it was cute. I was told about this one from a land mate who had driven past it on his motorcycle earlier today, so when I was coming back from the store, I stopped and got some pictures. This was taken just down Tetherow, about 1/4 mile from our property.

Its interesting that the little kills, the kittens, possums, skunks, squirrels and frogs are left on the road to rot and merge with the asphalt. The big kills (deer, dogs, people) disappear quickly, snagged by passerby, no doubt, for burial, stew, or taxidermy.
