Oh no hahaha! I swear we pulled an angry, puffed up, sleepy eyed Tinks out of car engines so many times. Even with us constantly checking, she was still driven away with TWICE! Once as a kitten to the post office, and another time as an adult to a school event my mom and brothers went to. She was under that hood for
9 hours in the middle of summer before they came back and heard her meowing. I don’t know how she survived.. and she still didn’t learn her lesson.
I had a friend who started their car with the cat under the hood. Only, this cat was against the engine belt.. he said it was like an blender exploded under the car, you couldn’t even recognize it was a cat anymore. He spent all day cleaning the garage and never told his daughters what happened.
