Spotted: Kitten

[psycoticclown]

... in my engine bay...

So I go to my friends house, park my car and start walking away when I hear some meowing noise, look over, no cat or any animal, hear it again, way louder and it's coming from my car. Look under car, nothing, meows like 6 more times, from the engine bay so I pop the hood and see this little guy just sitting there.

Wasn't hurt at all which is weird, the engine bay was damn hot. Thought he would be burnt.

HOLY CRAP!

Are you kidding?!

what did you do with the cat?

[GQBalla]

holy...

is that kitty yours?

how the F did it get in there?

nice spotting

[7thgenvic]

how the F!!!! CRAZY

[psycoticclown]

Not my cat. And you can see the ground from that whole so it probably just crawled into there. Put him on the ground while we figured out what to do with him and he just kept hiding under my car. It was a bitch to get him out haha.

I just made my friend hold it and drove back home, dropped it off outside my house and the thing instantly knew where it was and ran to a nearby house. We were going to take it to the humane society but it closed at 3 and this happened at 3:30 haha.

It's funny, got home 10 minutes ago and there's some girl in my backyard with a chair poking at something in the trees, I was like wtf, girl's like there's a small kitten up there. Sounds like that kitten is having tons of fun haha.

What area did you find this kitten in?

That looks like 'Carlos', this cat I found while working in the S.W. He appeared at the job site and kicked it with us for a few days then disappeared.

[psycoticclown]

^^ This is in Lethbridge. He must get around :P

Anyways, no leash on him either, but he seemed to know my neighborhood very well. Gotta check now everyday before I leave. Don't want BBQ cat.

[Boosted Gtir]

I always hear that you get better engine performance when you take out or gut the cat..... now I finally know what that means! I'm glad you picked the former.


Oh, and now you can tell your friends that your car is a pussy magnet....














Sorry, I had to. :angel:

Haha! :thumbsup:

Glad the little guy is ok!

[Supa Dexta]

happens all the time on the farm, even 3 weeks ago we had one, but it lived.. Cats get in there cause its warm, start it up, and bango.. dead cat.. fan belts off, hair everywheres..

had a chicken get in there before too..

[atgilchrist]

He wanted to feel that engine purr.

[403s1n]

hahaha too random :D

[japan_us]

Just honk your horn a few times before leaving your place. I remember reading somewhere that this is supposed to drive out any animals that may have crawled up there.

My neighbor had this happen to his dog when I was a kid. Smaller type dog, cold November day, started the truck and heard a dog yelping from under the truck. They ended up having to put the dog down.

Glad the lil' guy was ok! Nice looking cat.

Damn, that must have been messy...

Glad the kitten is ok though :thumbsup:

So that's the secret to Subaru's traction...I always thought it had something to do with the AWD. Does this comprimise the car's "horse"power at all?

OP should get some sort of custom user title.

[psycoticclown]

Well looks like I'm due for a retune since I've gone catless.

[Tomaz]

^^^ haha

This happened to my neighbour too. they have 4 cats, now 3 have no tails :eek:

[psycoticclown]

Haha, found the little guy stuck in a tree in my backyard. Pretty sure it's a stray, no collar, no tattoo's on it's ear. I was working on my car and he kept running around me and hiding under the car haha.

You should keep him, it seems like he's taken quite a liking to you and he looks like a great little cat.

If I had a neighbor that honked his horn everytime he went to drive his car it would have a date with my side cutters.

Edit: You should definatly keep the cat, strays that are given homes are VERY loving cats. Also, Those pics from the LGT forums are great. :D

[Drsuce]

Beyond adopt-a-pet! lets find the kitty a home! :clap:

[psycoticclown]

We took it to the animal shelter last Wednesday, if he hasnt found a home buy this Wednesday, we are going to take him in and name him Turbo haha. Either that or Boxer.

make sure to always remember to check under your car. Couple seconds a day could potentially save the little guy from getting run over if he's chillin under your car.

[exodus989]

I vote beyond mascot.

[banned3x]

hahhah i live in a cul de sac and so many peole have cats and they are on my car under my car, if the windows are open they jump in. i hate em

[flipstah]

Seems like a healthy and curious cat. Did you actually keep him/her?

Turbo is a sweet name. Boxer reminds me of a dog.

[nissanguy]

that cats gotta add about 100 horsepower to the

[adidas]

Sweet.

Looks like a nice little kitty, hope u kept it!
