Kitten sneaks into car's undercarriage, travels as a stowaway for miles while the owner drives home, until they finally hear her meows: ‘We're calling her Piper, short for Exhaust Pipe’

• I drove home 20 miles with a kitten in my undercarriage

  When I started my drive home I thought I heard meowing… did I leave a video playing somewhere on TikTok, YouTube? Where is that coming from? Then it stopped. Drove halfway home, thought I heard it again. Pulled over into a parking lot, got on my hands and knees, popped the hood, nothing at all to be seen. Now I think I’m going crazy. Drove the rest of the way home, hours pass, now I’m eating dinner with my family and we hear a clear and distinct MEOW! coming from my garage… now I know I am in fact not crazy and kitten rescue mode fully commences.

• After about an hour we finally got her out (more like she finally decided to climb down on her own). She is so small, but she has teeth and was walking/scurrying around just fine. She is missing her tail but it seems like she was born that way. Definitely not in the mood to be handled right now though.

  Anyways, we are calling her Piper. Short for Exhaust Pipe, obviously.

• Miss Piper traveled 20 miles and over 60mph at some times all the way home as a stowaway. I’m SO happy she is ok.

  I’ve heard of cats crawling into cars, but always in the winter to get warm, never in warm weather (70-80 degrees yesterday where I live). And I’ve NEVER seen cats or kittens in the area that I work.

• Despite the rocky start, it seems like this sweet kitten is in good hands. Hopefully, Piper won't ever have to climb into another car's exhaust pipe again!
