I lost a beloved cat a few months ago that ran into the road. My security camera caught the whole thing.
"What if?" Is its own torment for us, but analytically, she simply wasn't visible and there was nothing the driver could/should have done to prevent the horrible outcome.
There are in life no-win situations. It hurts, but it's an adult realization. Cats go under cars to hide - to avoid being seen - and can't grasp danger the same as humans.
