What happened to the cat? Did the guy who caught him take him home? Enquiring minds want to know.

There were cat prints on the hood of my truck this morning.

I'm fine with prints from the neighborhood strays. Scratches will be a different story.

Last I heard Mary, the Angels organization was contacting an animal rescue organization and the cat was going to be put up for adoption. He looks pretty darn healthy! :wink:

When Sarah Ann Stevens set off on a 50-mile drive to Spokane, Washington, this weekend, she thought she was traveling alone. Once there, however, she heard a familiar meow coming from inside her engine compartment.

After popping the hood, Stevens was shocked to find Thomas, the stray cat she had taken in two years ago.Luckily, Stevens was able to pull Thomas from his perilous perch unharmed, but her story and others like it highlight an invisible danger to our feline friends during winter months.

"Cats seeking warmth have been known to crawl into engine compartments in cars that have recently been driven," Dane County Humane Society spokesperson Gayle Viney told the Capital Times in 2009. "This can be fatal to the cat if the car is started."

Above all, keeping your cat inside is the best way to protect him from his own curiosity, but if that's not possible or you live in an area with other outdoor cats, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has one simple tip for keeping heat-seeking felines safe."Make some noise," writes the AVMA. "Check underneath your car, bang on the hood and honk the horn before starting the engine to encourage feline hitchhikers to abandon their roost."Thomas, by the way, is doing just fine and looking for a new home farther away from the dangers of the city.

"He grew up in the country," Stevens told news station KREM. "I think he really likes out buildings which is the reason why he might have ended up in my vehicle."

I had heard of this island before. I also posted about Tama the stationmaster cat earlier in this thread. She passed away and was declared a Shinto goddess. How cool is that? I also like Maneki-Neko (the lucky beckoning cat) and had it as my Windows account avatar for Windows 7.
