So how did they know it was Chinese? Did it “merow” instead of “meow”?

Yup. I bet that kitten hates Meow Tse Tung.

It's amazing how they can shut down and survive.

I had one climb into the 240Z during an overhaul (unknown to us), we left for the weekend, temps over 108 outside, and the Z wasn't under shade.

When I opened it up, the kitten staggered out, mostly dead, but with a very clean intestinal tract (everything was in the car).

We fed it some water, and it lived. The smell in the car eventually went away.

If it was a Chinese registered ship and crew....that kitty did some serious evasive maneuvers while on board.

We’re your: `You catch-`em, you stun-’em, you kill-’em, you butcher-’em yourself steakhouse.’ “Mel’s Char Palace,” a self-service, fine-feline dining experience.

Yeah, that cat had nine lives, at least.

The crew should have kept the kitten as a mascot.

He looks Chinese. Glad he made it out—that was his lucky day to escape China.
