I CAN HAS FREE RIDEZ?
Orange County, CA
A driver realized that a cat had become stuck inside her engine while driving down Goldenwest Street near Edinger Avenue around 11:37 a.m. Saturday.
The woman pulled her car over and turned off the engine to wait for a tow truck to raise the car so she could get the cat out of the engine through the undercarriage.
While she was waiting, her car became a traffic hazard for other drivers and the car was almost hit several times.
A tow-truck driver eventually arrived and helped to free the feline, and it was deemed unharmed.

Inside her engine? I think not. and how does a parked vehicle “become” a traffic hazard? Did it roll into a traffic lane while she was waiting? The intern who wrote this piece needs to finish at least one semester of community college journalism class before attempting to write this column again…

I know for sure cats can get into engine compartments and the noise they make when you start your engine is horrible, especially when they get in the fan and belts.
My buddies cat got it’s tail stuck in the serpentine–he tried to start it, but as soon as he turned it over, he heard something banging around so he stopped turning it over. So, he opens the hood and it’s tail is caught in his fan belt. He then reaches inside and the cat went on the defensive, and being it was scared, dug all it’s claws and teeth into his hand. Man I tell ya—his hands were all tore up. lol He is sooo stupid!

Put a tiger in your tank!
I wonder if the auto club covers that type of emergency road service call?
