    Hi everyone - needing as many positive thoughts as possible! We found out a few days ago that a neighbor a block over has been feeding a feral

  • 03

    momma with a litter of 8ish week old kittens who are very weary about people that she's been trying to socialize and catch. We went to visit a

  • 04

    relative yesterday and I realized we had several clips of our driveway than usual so I went through the videos and realized there was a good chance

  • 05

    we had kittens in my husband's truck. Sure enough three babies were in the engine bay and somehow were all okay. We were able to safely remove two

    but this one bolted. We looked for two hours and couldn't find it anywhere. Relative put out canned tuna and water and played

  • Yeah, little known fact about cats, they are natural mechanics. You show them an engine they can get stuck into and you can bet your bottom dollar on parts that they will be crawling inside that engine in no time looking for a fix. Unfortunately, that can mean that they are not all too easy to get out of said engines, especially when they are as smol as these kittens. And so in such cases you have to play the waiting game in the hopes that they shall tire and get bored of their engine build. It is a game of immense patience but it is one that pays off.

    for tonight playing the video it was responding the most to today to try to help lure it out once it's dark. Around 1 pm she called and was

  • 11

    confident she heard it in her neighbor's truck. He popped the hood and we saw this sweet face. It wriggled away from me when I reached in to grab it

    and jumped out of the bottom and was MIA again. Thankfully her neighbor is aware and has no plans to move the vehicle tonight though does

  • This is one heck of a slippery feline here. It is rather impressive that at such a young age this cat is more than capable of giving hoomans the slip. He is most certainly a cat who is destined for clawminal greatness as the years of his life go on and we would not be surprised at all to find that he will turn to steal carburetors in the hopes of making a few extra bucks to fund that fancy feline food obsession of his. Or well, the obsession that he shall soon develop when he comes crawling out of the engine.

    have to work tomorrow. She has continued playing momma noises throughout the afternoon and it's in neighbor's truck wheel well but

    too high up to grab. We need all of the positive thoughts you can send our way that this sweet little one is hungry and goes into the

    trap tonight. I am so worried it will end up in the wrong vehicle and be injured or worse tomorrow morning. It's so scared and definitely doesn't
