That’s nothing...our cat road from Michigan to Lancaster, PA under our camper, between said camper and a sheet of plywood just above the road. The cat stayed in PA on the Amish farm we visited.

[WOBBLY BOB]

one of our farm cats did this when I was a kid.

better yet, dad ran over the cat with the truck(by accident) first. we thought it ran off to die. we went into town(30 miles) . came back out and the cat was eating out of a dumpster. still had a tire track on his back, but seemed to be fine and lived another 5 years.

I survived a 700 mile trip with my cat IN my truck. Years ago and before “cat carriers”.

Cat looks like me yelling at the idiots in front while driving..........

[Lady Jag]

He is beeping his horn and yelling at the idiots in front. Some cats with nine lives get wicked impatient and reckless.

The smart ones take it out on the ractrack.

No, you can’t has seatbelt. Claws work just fine.

[I still care]

Cats really do have nine lives.

I have one cat that lived through a fire that burnt down my house. After the fire we went into what was left and heard her meowing. She was under the sofa that the firemen had thrown over.

My son rescued a kitten last week that fell out of his wheelwell onto US 19. For those of you who live in FL, you’ll understand what a miracle that was.

[I still care]

Years ago we drove down to FL on 95 in a moving truck. Had no box for the cat, but he was sleeping fine in the middle. At 1am, he suddenly decided to jump up and dig his claws into the leg of the driver.

We ended up in a ditch. Forever more he was the cat the threw the truck off the road.

Thanks, it’s from the link shown at #4. That’s Bella, the cat who went for a ride under the owner’s truck.

Lucky that it survived.
