I was an hour late to work last week b/c of one of my crazy pets. I live in the country but right along a major highway. We currently have 5 cats and 2 kittens that live outside. I got in my car to go to work one day last week and was about 1/4 mile down the road when I happened to look in the rearview mirror and saw Puma, the kitten, fall out of my car (he was in the engine, a normal thing for outside cats to do unfortunately) onto the highway. The jeep behind me just barely missed hitting him but Puma managed to run to the side of the road. The guy in the jeep and I both stopped and spent 10 minutes chasing Puma around the ditch trying to catch him. He was so scared that he kept running from us. We finally caught him and I put him in my car and was going to take him home. When I got home I could hear him crying but couldn't find him anywhere. I finally came to the conclusion that he had crawled into the console of my car and I couldn't get to him. I didn't want to drive my car to work and have Puma stuck in there all day b/c it's so stinkin' hot here (90 + humidity). To make a long story short, I ended up calling my fiance who was already at work so that I could get his truck to go to work so that I could leave my car at home in the driveway with the doors wide open in the hopes that Puma would jump out once he realized that things had calmed down. To make the story even funnier, Tim, my fiance stopped at home at lunch time to see if Puma had left the car and to close my doors if he had. Puma and Red (the other kitten) were sleeping in the backseat! How cute, huh?! When Tim tried to shooh them out, Red jumped out but Puma went back into the console. So, my car sat with all the doors wide open for the entire day but in the end Puma came out, only had a skinned up nose from the whole thing, and now we have a funny story to tell.
Can anyone top that story?!!
