this morning I opened the door for my outdoor/indoor cat, lobster. he didn't show up. I shook his food bag, but he didn't come running like he usually does. after worrying a little bit, I notice in the distance something laying on the side of the road right in front of our lawn. my boyfriend told me it was lobster. I wasn't sure if it was because lobster has a mother, who is much bigger but identical to him. I put out some food just in case it wasn't him...

however, while I went to school, my dad picked up the remains and set it aside the house to be buried. when I got home my dad told me that when he picked up the cat, it was nearly twice the size of lobster and twice the weight. also, the food I left out was all gone. this leads me to believe my cat is still alive (but ran away) and the dead one is the mother.

but to make sure, I want to know what happens to an animal after it gets hit; does it swell? and even if it does, is it possible for it to get that big?
 
well i know that if a raccoon gets hit and dies it lays in the sun and like swells up totally!

I'm sorry for the situation that you're in and I know it doesnt help you right now... but you really should consider keeping your pets indoors, for reasons like this. It is dangerous outside for them!
