So I work at a car dealership, and I tell you what-it is never a dull moment. Previously I have seen a falcon, been threatened with firearms, and so on. It's a trip. But I want to tell you a story about what happened not too long ago. Rescuing a kitty. I was walking past this vehicle and I heard some meowing coming from one of our vans. Upon further inspection, it was under the headlamp housing, but sitting perfectly fine.
Obviously not wanting to have any harm come to the little guy, we attempted to flush it out. The crafty little guy ended up jumping out (absolutely petrified) and skittered off down the lineup. In an effort to coax it out, we went and bought soft cat food and set it out like this. Fast forward an hour, and we still didn't find the little dude-but I couldn't stop looking because I didn't want anything bad to happen to him.
After all that time, climbing under cars, looking through tall brush, and making meowing noises to get him to respond, I finally made visual contact with the little bastard. But unfortunately, he still evaded me. It was after this that he darted farther back in the depths of the lot.
Eventually we got the little guy, he had propped himself up between an engine and the hood of a Chevy Equinox. He was covered in grime and dirt, but was healthy, just a little freaked out.
Yours truly with the little guy, a little before we gave him up to a coworker's mother to live out the rest of his days in a much better environment than a car dealership's lot.

Poor cat.. Must have been so scared...

This guy has a cat in a car & he gets upvotes. I have a cat in my car & my post gets taken down. The cat in my car ended up dead but still.

I found a cat that crawled up into a truck's undercarriage at a Popeye's last year. Named it Mew, because it was under the truck. 1/2

Long story short, we kept her for a couple days and took her to a non-kill shelter. She got adopted after about a week. 2/2

It's true, women who like cats, find guys who like cats more attractive. Thank you, for your time and effort.

I love how one of your stories is just "I saw a falcon."

PSA: Always a good idea to check your wheel wells for cats on colder days. It happened to me, especially when i thought it never would.

Damnit, and I was just about to test drive that Chevy. Just kidding folks. I'm practically Bubbles, I love kitty kats!!

I'm wondering why the 'little guy' and 'little dude' became 'little bastard'.

As I was typing the story out, I started to relive the frustration of crawling underneath cars to make sure he was safe. Just a progression.

All cats are bastards. Cat marriage is very rare and not legally recognized

I'm sorry but - did you just list seeing a falcon as a noteworthy event?
catears87
Had a similar thing happen only it was in a Taco Bell parking lot... named the little fur ball "Chalupa"

I could hug you so much right now. Thank you for doing this. Thank you!

I upvoted but I still think it could've done without the selfie.
TrueLegateDamar
I wanna hear about the time you got threatened with a firearm
RocknOats
No selfies. -1

Awe looks like OP is downvoting anyone who brings that up.

@op, do you watch prison school. You do don't you.
JustACatBoy
Did...did you keep him ?
DarthFluffyBottom
Hope you remembered to still check the kitty at the vet? You know, shots, deworming, check for FIV etc. ? But still a cute kitty! <3

I think a car dealership cat would be awesome. He could have been the mascot. Just let him roam free.

I always instantly like a business better when they have a kitty lounging around.

Until it accidentally drinks from a puddle of anti-freeze that leaked out from someone's jalopy.

He deserves a warm lap, scratches, and a nice bed with a human who loves him.

"Test drive one of our car, and if our cat is hiding underneath it, save 5% on any new tires purchase!"

Or hides in a belt and gets torn to pieces.

I'm a technician for Mini Cooper of Plano Texas. We had a stow away in one of our loaners. We took her home. Best kitten ever.

Fat fingers with rings on them get me all sorts of anxiety.
stirmysoultogigglemode
Well-stated.

I sometimes put 2 fingers in my mug's handle and almost immediately my heart starts racing

And those lush finger pubes really don't help matters

Can they ever get them off? The fingers looked trapped.

It makes me claustrophobic

Harold Zeigler?
kalvo1
Saw that right away too. It does not look like the one near me.
bitchinmona
I don't even know anymore. I don't live in that area and haven't for a long time but immediately - cars + Zeigler = Harold Zeigler.
capitalsm
That would be correct. This story comes from my time at the Grandville Chrysler store in Michigan
bitchinmona
Oh cool. New logos, I see. I grew up near the one in Plainwell (now defunct, I think).
capitalsm
Nope still in full effect there. Two stores actually in plainwell. Harold's son owns the store so they changed up branding
bitchinmona
Oh cool! Good to know. I haven't been back in a LONG time but that nostalgia… (:
