Oh poor kitteh..
:(
Next day, I picked up the kitten, and it was so glad to see me that it rode the entire distance home sitting on my shoulder.
My best guess is that it had gone to sleep in the "well" of the horizontally mounted spare tire under the bed of my pickup -- and was too scared to jump out until I stopped after driving over fifty miles at highway speeds...
Aunt and uncle had had a ranch/farm in OK panhandle. Lots of feral cats around. They were constantly in the engine well to keep warm. They ate a lot of engine fans. The worst was going out to turn off irrigation pumps after dark. The rattlers were always out in spades.

Them kitties. They is tough.
We have three cats and live on five acres so have plenty of room, but spend most the winter inside. we could not get along without them.
Speaking of car engines, does anybody have an idea how to keep rats out of my car engine in the winter? Last winter a rat or something got in there and chewed through the wiring of my alternator, which I did not appreciate, though the mechanic was pretty happy about it. Now his cousin is back. (The rat’s cousin, not the mechanic’s cousin.) Tonight I found rodent poop on the battery. I sent my terrier and my larger hunting hound after him this evening but they had no luck. He laughs at traps. Ideas are welcome. I don’t want to pay for more work on the car.
By the way, my house, garage, and car are clean. I think he’s just coming in for the warmth.
Had a young kitty made the mistake of sleepin under the hood. He lost his tail one cool morning in the fan belt. Took him to the vet and he capped off Manx length. Called him Detail after that.
The dog, not so much...
Hot: The cat was found after making a four-hour, 200-mile journey through Ohio sitting on the engine of the car
Was Mitt Romney seen in proximity to the vehicle?
