BERLIN (Reuters) - A German couple was shocked after a 275-mile car journey to discover a surprise stowaway cowering next to the engine of their car -- a 6-week-old kitten.
The meows of the tiny animal only became audible after Elisabeth and Dieter Gesehl had parked their car.
"First of all we called the police as we feared for a moment that we must have run over and seriously injured a cat," the 64-year-old woman from Eggenfelden told Bonn express newspaper.
After checking under the hood, however, they discovered the unharmed kitten. The animal, which the couple have since adopted and named "Pussy," was soon back to normal after a few minutes of petting.

The animal, which the couple have since adopted and named "Pussy,"I would have called this kitten "Incredibly Ballsy".

I was going to post a wiseacre answer when I ran into this and my jaw dropped. They don't say the age of the scientist, but this mole-rat is 26 years old!

True, but it makes for a lot of 3-legged cats.
and stubby short tails. We had a young tomcat, named Tiger, who tried warming up in a visiting relative's car. Knocked the car's alternator belt off the pully and the cat ran off like he was shot.
Several days later, Tiger reappeared with a badly broken tale hanging at half mast. He showed up a day later with the tail chewed off at the midpoint.
Thereafter, he became known as "Stubs" in our home. He was also, the toughest tomcat we ever had on the farm. I watched him whip coonhounds when he was in a bad mood.

This is so much safer than crawling under the hood of a car.

I remember when I first got internet access and I asked my mom for ideas for a good AOL screenname. PussyGalore didn't go over too well but I had lots of nice men wanting to be my friend *LOL*I imagine you did :-)
I left the ping list at home. I'll have to bring them to work tomorrow.
