Target Fixation - the same thing that can lead fighter pilots to slam into terrain right behind their target.
I was heading down my driveway and saw a large grasshopper in the road. Suddenly a cat jumped out of the grass and pounced on it - right in front of my jeep doing 30mph. I slammed on my breaks and still almost ran the cat over before it suddenly realized I was there and spazzed.
Personally I think that's why you see a lot more dead cats on the road than dogs.
That one brought a tear to me eye!
