Thank you for pinging me, lovely cats, all of them.

Your photo looks like “Tom” my hand holding cat.

I love the “Humans are idiots!” expression on that poor cat’s face.

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

For maximum effect, embed them in the driver's leg.

The cat stayed in PA on the Amish farm we visited.

Still there? Sounds like it was planned.......800 miles is a long way to drive to get rid of a cat.

Well, yeah, but that’s kind of difficult for a cat to do if she’s riding underneath the truck with a death grip on the spare tire.

:-D )))

Seriously, I’m glad that unlike the dog in “National Lampoon’s Vacation”, Bella was able to keep up.

"Humans are idiots!"

That's it, exactly! Cats are very honest; they always let us know what's on their mind.

LOL This was back in 1975-76, or earlier, I was a kid. The feline preferred a dairy farm (think milk) to staying with us in the camper.

Plus the cat in question is a female cat and we all remember all those female drivers comments. It is nice to see every now and then a female orange cat. More often the orange cats are males. =^..^=
