Cat Hitchhiker!
So I got my daughter Chick Fila for lunch today and during the drive to CFA I heard what sounded like a cat meowing. I get to the drive-thru and asked the CFA girl if she could hear meowing? She said yes and it’s coming from your car. I popped the hood & sure enough there was a pre-adult kitten resting on the driveshaft. We basically shut down the drive-thru lane and attempted to get the cat out. Finally after about 20 mins we were able to get him to run out. I was easily driving 55 to 60 miles per hour on the drive and he managed to hang on for the ride! I’ve never experienced anything like it. I just hope he somehow survives now.

Re: Cat Hitchhiker!
Btw, this is a true story not a wind up. I’ve shared the story with family & friends. The funniest response came from a friend I’ve known for more than 20 years. He said, that’s all the pussy I’ll be getting. Lol!

Re: Cat Hitchhiker!
Had to do a US google check on terminology as i get mixed up.
Trunk - boot
Hood - bonnet
So this wee thing was in beside the engine? Holy shyte, 9
What an absolute wee trooper.
Was going to suggest that it would’ve been good if you could’ve kept that as a pet………. But from the cats point of view; it’d be thinking, “Get me the fk away from this guy. That journey was worse than Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible.”
Disclaimer:
I understand the cat would not know Tom Cruise or Mission Impossible ——>> too young!

Re: Cat Hitchhiker!
He ran away, so I wasn’t able to adopt him/her. I really hope he survives. He deserves it after that ordeal.

Another addition to the cat scrolls of 9:
I have to share this story with you guys. I’m sad. The other night I was sitting on my patio and a stray cat family sauntered by. It was momma and two kittens. One of the kittens hung back and sniffed around the lattice. I wanted to adopt it so bad, but I knew I couldn’t. Well, I just drove to the store and there was a dead kitten on the road just outside of the apartments. It was definitely one of those kittens cuz the colors matched. I know I’m being melodramatic, but it broke my heart.
