No way would I do that. Chicken? Absolutely, after seeing videos of crazy drivers in Russia rear-ending other vehicles or striking pedestrians. I would perhaps stop and block traffic, but not get out and pick up the kitty. Too dangerous.

How could the kitten “tumble out of” an SUV? Unless someone put it out....

Szechuan entrees are probably as hard to find in Kaliningrad as green chile burritos are in Newcastle Upon Tyne.

Yes, that prince.
