One less cat in this world...

One of the yard cats in the neighborhood apparently thought he (or she) found a new home on the spare wheel, safely protected from harm.



Not sure how long this cat had made the spare wheel his home but I can't remember seeing any cat come and go from the truck while at work or at home. Never heard meows or other cat sounds either; never knew a cat made his home on my spare wheel.



So as I was leaving town for a trip; the hideaway cat was along for a ride too. While stopped at a light, another motorist motioned to roll down my window and told me a black cat tumbled out from the below back end of the truck. First, I thought it wasn't possible but then he said it again. That would explain why he suddenly jerked his truck over to the other lane a few miles back. As for the tumbling cat, I doubt he survived at that speed but the other motorist mentioned he saw the cat doing a few lopsided cartwheels and a hard bounce before he passed it.

When I was in elementary my dad was going to give me a ride to school. We got in our 72 Ford Country Squire wagon and when he cranked the engine we heard the most blood chilling meow ever. Turns out a stray cat would stay warm every night by sleeping in the fan shroud. The fan broke his back and tore him up pretty bad. Luckily a cop was passing by when it happened so he called some one to pick it up.

But if there was a leash, he would be pulling him along... that would be like skinning him with pavement

More than likely he was already on his death bed. Most cats look for a hideaway when they know they are coming to the end of their lives. One things for sure it had class!!

I opened this up thinking you took a Cat off your truck and there was gonna be a video clip of it. Wrong cat though.

I don't really care for cats, but that is kinda sad.

No, it was probably sleeping there. While that is true, you must not know much about animals.

Cats... I'm a dog type of person and just don't care for cats that much. A dog has no need to climb up in something or nest
