Kitten Survives 275-Mile Ride Next to Car Engine
Yahoo! News ^ | Reuters

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.

I have to wonder where this writer went to college. That is NOT proper wording, even if transalated in German.

Toonces is a lousey driver. Always runs off the same cliff and bursts into flames.

That's nothing. I drove a little lizard on the hood of my car to Walmart yesterday and it was quite a distance. That little guy now lives at Walmart instead of by my wiper blades. I used a branch to flick him off the car at Walmart.

You know, sometimes if
you turn on a teenage girl
without knowing what

is under the hood
you can get some hysterics
that will scare your cat!

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*

Not only is he a bad driver, he is intractable.
