So this little guy survived inside my car...
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Next morning, the food and water hadn't been touched. Called Animal Control, some guy shows up and first thing he tells me is; "i can't fit my stomach under that car." The second thing he tells me is; "i've been doing this 20 years, there is no meowing, there is no cat. He would respond to my sounds. (as he meows to what could only be the equivalent to a cat getting run over by a steam roller sound effect) So i hit bmw assist, they send a tow truck, jack up the car, we can't find anything. Everyone is sure the kitten escaped, even though there is nowhere in the garage for the kitten to get out of or into, because the only thing in the garage is the car. =/ I reluctantly drive the car to Firestone, tip the guy a sizeable amount and ask him to look for a kitten. Nothing. Come back home and repark the car. I keep peeking into the garage because i know there is nowhere that kitten could have gone. In the evening, i decide to sit in the garage for a bit in the dark and finally, i hear the sound of claws on metal. I call some buddies over and we go over the car with a fine tooth comb when we see the little furball. Long story short, get him out and he's smaller than i thought. View post on imgur.com View post on imgur.com View post on imgur.com So now i need your help. I posted it up on reddit, link is below. Some upvotes would be nice and spreading of the word to find this little guy a good home. I travel too much for work and i'm never home. But he has exceptional taste in cars and he survived the drive, considering he's used at least 8 of the 9 lives he has, i think he deserves a good home (somewhere in the San Francisco area) ... http://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments...cheated_death/ |

Wish I could trade circumstances. I have an unwelcome cat that likes to perch itself on the roof of my 550 and my Z3. Tried a couple passive, non-harmful means without any luck. May have to escalate.

I don't think you've tried crawling under your car for hours with led flashlights sticking your hand in places not designed to fit anything larger than a 5 year olds hands. I would've gladly taken the roof of my car over the internals any day of the week. Just saying...

Great story and adorable kitten
Love your determination, I bet some people would just shrug it off after a while, but you stuck to it, and you helped save that little kitty's life Hope he finds a good home. I would adopt him lol, but I already have enough pets to deal with

I showed my Girlfriend this thread and she's already in love with the little guy and begging to get him/her. We already have TWO cats though, so unfortunately it wouldn't work.

2. Your other cats can teach him the ways. 3. I'm covering all costs of the vet, shots vaccinations and everything else they require. They're keeping him for a little while longer for observations because he was so tiny, so young and dehydrated from not eating / drinking. Just throwing that out there... |

we can't figure out how he survived... i'm telling you, he used at least 8 of his 9 lives... might be some gap above the fuel tank, only think i can think of, because there were some downhill / uphill driving and lots of turns...

Not to sound morbid but you're lucky he did survive for a number of reasons, one being; the possibility of a rotting corpse in an unreachable crevice.
