The Cat and the Car

The calico leaned over the roof to squeeze in through the window but fell between the window frame and the sudden collapsing angle formed by the window, her body hanging down the side of the car, her head trapped in the wedge of glass and metal. She beat her legs against the door and clawed with her front legs to pull herself up but the car was new and the paint shiny and smooth. She choked herself hanging from the car window against the door and died. Another one of the cats, a fat black male, much older and with only one eye sat the whole time and watched the calico step forward fall squirm and die.
