The black cat called Giggs was found after his owner's colleagues heard a meowing noise coming from her car. Giggs's owner Cerian Griffith, from Anglesey, said despite missing a few claws, the cat was unscathed. And incredibly Giggs did the same thing a second time, but was found before Ms Griffith left home. "I hadn't thought anything about the fact that I hadn't seen the cat before I left for work," said Ms Griffith, who works at Ysgol David Hughes secondary school in Menai Bridge. "A colleague said he'd heard a meowing noise coming from my car but I thought he was pulling my leg, until my mum sent me a text to say the cat was missing." I went across the yard shouting 'puss, puss' but there was no response and I thought he must have been a goner” Cerian Griffith Ms Griffith said she immediately put two and two together. "I went across the yard shouting 'puss, puss' but there was no response and I thought he must have been a goner," she said. When she opened the bonnet however "a head popped up" and Giggs was perched to the side of the Vauxhall Corsa's engine. "He was just sitting there, and I can't understand how he managed to stay there as my journey involves going around a few roundabouts and along the A55," she added. Ms Griffith said she then had to "embarrassingly" ask the head teacher for permission to take the cat home. "He was lovely about it, and the cat fell asleep as he was being driven home," she added. Despite being 13-years-old, and not in the best of health, Giggs survived unscathed, apart from missing "a couple of claws". The experience has not made him any wiser though as he was again found in the engine a second time. "My mum said she'd seen him near the car and for me to check," she said. "I didn't think he'd do it again, but there he was, fast asleep. "I've no idea how many lives he has, but that one journey must have used up at least three," she added. An RSPCA spokeswoman said it was not uncommon during cold weather for small animals to crawl beneath cars and climb up inside the engine compartment, seeking warmth and shelter.[/quote] So remember kids, always check your cars engine for unwanted feline friends!
He did it again the second time because he had a fun ride :3:

Our old cat climbed into the engine compartment and we had the same thing happen to us. Except when we arrived at my uncle's the cat got out and ran away :smith:
My cat doesn't do anything fun :smith:
How is this news worthy? This happened once to my cousin. He stopped the car when he noticed the engine was meowing.
My cat survived a 30 minute trip in the dryer... :v: He wasn't hurt.
[quote] I went across the yard shouting 'puss, puss' but there was no response and I thought he must have been a goner”[/quote] Who does that? :wtc:
I'm pretty sure this happens all the time. My old cat did this a few years ago, they like the heat.
[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;26653329]Who does that? :wtc:[/QUOTE] And most of all, she was expecting a response? [quote]I went across the yard shouting 'puss, puss' [b]but there was no response[/b][/quote] Also, I had a squirrel in my engine once. Unluckily for him it was a 1 hour trip. After the trip, I got out of the car and thought I smelled steak... well, poor squirrel.
My cat did that once.
My dad found a litter of kittens under the hood. Apparently they got in from under the car. And luckily he had to check the engine for the radiator, or else they'd be ground cat
[quote]The black cat called Giggs was found after his owner's colleagues heard a meowing noise coming from her car.[/quote] Pfshh, my car makes meowing noises all the time.
[QUOTE=leach139;26654838]Pfshh, my car makes meowing noises all the time.[/QUOTE] That's funny, so does my blender.
My uncle once during a car trip kept hearing a cat meowing and at the end of the trip he opened the bonnet and there were bits of cat scattered around the engine, he said :saddowns:
I wanted to find a clip from that X-Files episode, the one with the cursed girl who can make things happen by drawing them, where Molder and Scully turn on their car's air conditioner only to be showered by chunky-looking blood. I thought that would have been an appropriate and funny response to the topic, but I could not find that clip anywhere, and so I'm stuck instead with giving an awkward explanation of my failed intentions.
^It's funny since there is no way that could possibly work

Something like this happened to my dad one time when he was a kid, except the cat got fucked up by the fan and ran away screeching. I guess it ran into his garage somewhere. [editline]13th December 2010[/editline] Wasn't there some story on here about a Coyote that got hit by a car and was wedged up between the Radiator and the Grill for like 150 miles? I think it survived too.

He was waiting for the right moment to escape from hell that is his house.
