The Kitty and the Truck

Look at this sad little face. This is a baby kitty that ended up in Marco's car, and I'm not sure if I can condense the story enough, but I'll try. . . .

Marco was on his way to the Legion last week. On the way, he was just coming over a hill, and about 25 feet in front of him was this kitty playing with a bug in the middle of the road. He stopped his car, thinking the kitty would run off, but the kitty didn't budge. Marco got out of his car and that's when the kitty ran. Under his car. He thought the kitty ran under his car to get to the corn field next to the road. He proceeded to the Legion, and was there about 3 hours, and then he came home and parked the car in Grandma Jean's garage next door. The next morning, we were sitting on the front porch having our coffee and we thought we heard a cat meowing. Marco said, "Oh no!", and proceeded to tell me the story of Mr. Kitty. We opened the garage door, and sure enough we heard meowing, and it was under the car. We looked everywhere, and Marco even got under the car, but we couldn't see it. Marco put the car into gear and we pushed the car out into the driveway so the cat could get out and run into the corn field across from OUR house. Marco drove the truck to the Legion that day. When he came home that night, the kitty was STILL under the car. We couldn't believe it. I got a bowl of water, and some cat food so it might be lured out of the car better, and then run across to the field or WHERE EVER. The next morning while we were having our coffee on the porch, we heard meowing coming from under the TRUCK. The kitty had eaten the food, drank the water and climbed into the engine of the truck. Marco had to drive the car that day, and when he came home the kitty was still in the truck. I had given it more food, which it ate when I wasn't around. We were tired of Mr. Kitty to say the least. We ate dinner, and Marco went out to the truck to look for the cat, and he opened the hood the the kitty was sitting right there on the radiator. Luckily, Marco made a grab for it and caught it!! Mr. Kitty went right in one of the plastic carriers that we have for the dogs. Also, luckily, the Humane Society was still open, and we were able to take the kitty up there. They said that as young as it was, they would more than likely have someone to foster it, and as cute as it was, it had a good chance of being adopted. Hopefully, if it is tamed and adopted, it won't go back into the engine of it's new owners car! That kitty got the best of us for 2 days. But he sure was a cutie. We wish him the very best!!!
