Lost and found
I was watching a UK programme today called Des and Mel and they were asking
"Have you ever lost something and found it in a really weird place"....And I though...hmmmm..no not really.....LOL... Apparently London's "Lost and Found" take in 6000 items every day, ranging from a barristers robes...to a 30' boat (think that's mine, must ring).... :0)) Anyway, the kids got home from school, had dinner and soon after my I was heading off to the beach with my son. We noticed the kittens were missing out of their box, which is at the front door and thought maybe Doris had brought them round the back to the utility room cos we've found them in there once before..so thought no more about it...and set off! Anyway, I had to take it easy cos I was reaaaaaal reaaall low on petrol and stuck to 50mph or less and just about managed to make it to the filling station... At the station I got out of the car and went to get the nozzle...... and what was just under the back of the car...........Our white kitten..staggering and looking dazed....LOL....I could not believe my eyes..nor could the driver that pulled in behind me... I lifted the tiny little kitten and handed it into my son......He was totally speechless (first time in 12 years...jabberjaws!!). Anyway, I got on with the job of filling the petrol when my son popped his head out of the car and said..."Mammy, I think the other two are under the car, cos I can hear meowing........ Well we searched and searched...we checked around every wheel, under the car, in the car......but no other kitten could be found....The station was very busy and everyone was looking at us, wondering what we were at....Cos all we kept saying was..."NO, it's not here...no, not here....and so on". We couldn't find anything so I put it down to his imagination and went off to pay for the petrol.....then I came back from paying and found him with his head under the bonnet of the car.......lifting another kitten out of the engine......Well I thought the London lost and found items were funny..but kittens in the engine....well that's just ....I dunno..just!!.. I cant believe that these tiny little kittens managed to hang on for so long cos the town is 10 miles away from our house, we were on our way to the beach which is about 25 mins away.....and I dont drag my heels either...They must be the luckiest kittens in the world......If I wasnt so low on petrol my son would probably have had them out on the surf board.....If they didnt get run over, they'd have died of fright.... BUT.....the sad part is that we cant find the third and think that maybe it went into the engine with the other two and must have fallen off at some point........or it jumped off at the filling station and we didnt see it.... I've spent ages trying to find the station number..and wondering excatly how I can phrase.."Have ye found a kitten wandering round the forecourt"...without sounding like a total nutter. But even directory enquiries dont have their number.....so now I have to go in. There goes my dignity *again*....LOL.... Then to top it off...I went back out to the car this evening.....and what did the white kitten do.....follow me and go under the car!.... Spose she's an adrenalin junky!!... Apart from that....a really boring day...rain rain and more rain!!.... Dolores |

Hi Dolores, It's common for kittens/cats to be near the engines of cars---for the warmth. Blow your horn when you start to leave next time--that usually scares them out. Kristen |

Apart from that....a really boring day...rain rain and more rain!!.... Dolores We were at a movie theater one time, and when the movie was over and we got to the car, we heard a cat. There was meowing coming from somewhere, but we just couldn't figure out where the hell it was coming from... Eventually we popped the hood and found a stupid cat sitting in there. I don't think it drove all the way to the theater with us, but since it was winter, and fairly cold, I assume it crawled under after we parked at the theater, and the cat climbed into the car where it was warmer. Moral of the story: Cats are stupid and deserve whatever trouble they put themselves into. On the TV, just a few mins ago, it showed a cat on top of a light pole and couldn't get down. Something ended up scaring the cat and it lost its balance. It ended up falling 30' (I think that's what they said) to the road and landed on its back. It ended up being fine, but hell... Some say cats are smart... Another piece of proof that shows me just how stupid cats are... P.S., Kittens are cute, while they last. |

Kristen Awwww...they're so teeny tiny blowing the horn would probably scare them to death or at best deafen them.....Sorry, havent the heart Kristen...Didnt know it was common for kittens to do this though, although Doris (their mum) has a habit of sitting ontop of the bonnet.....Kids huh!!..

Dont think I've ever heard a cat say anything to the contrary.... P.S., Kittens are cute, while they last. Oh arent they just.... Dolores They're adorable. I would have 100 kittens, if they didn't get so expensive to feed and keep healthy, smelly (because cleaning litter boxes would be a bitch - I currently have trouble cleaning just 3 litter boxes), and annoying. I have 3 cats. Yes, I sure do hate cats, but I really don't think I could go without them. Cats aren't much company, I find, but they are some company sometimes, and really, they've pretty much become part of the family, even though I believe they aren't as smart as some say they are. (Sorry, I've never seen a dog climb up a tree, only to have to be rescued by firefighters or the neighbour) |
