has anyone else got a story like this?
I've almost hit plenty of squirrels on the trail... and there was a deer laying behind a log one time. I came up to the log, got my front wheel on it and A DEER popped up and ran off... scared the bejeezus out of me.
My brother also hit a squirrel on GA Tech's campus.
Cool story. Sounds like a dumb cat. I doubt you hurt him too bad.
