Cat under the hood

so the question now is:

Would you prefer a filthy wire chewing rat..

Or a cat under the hood?..

 

Poor cat If I can remember, I try to tap on my fenders and hood before getting into my truck on cold mornings. Not really that many of them in Socal though except during winter. My ex-girlfriend was driving down the freeway on her way to work several years ago and heard meowing coming from somewhere around her car, pulled over and saw a kitten clinging to the underbody ( can't remember exactly where). Kept it and still has it to this day

 

Well....you did want cat-back exhaust.........too soon?......................on a serious note I have seen before where it didn't end so well under the hood...what a mess, glad the cats ( seemingly ok)

 

I wouldn't know if there was a cat under my hood until after the fact. Remote start has it's risks.

 

C) Neither

 

I grew up working at my father's truckstop, and I have powerwashed many a cat carcass from inside many an engine bay.

If you live in a cold climate there is just no way to keep the little fuckers out.

 

mmmmmm, toasted cats

 

Also, what's with the gif in your sig? It looks like it's zoomed in. Can't see the 2dn Gen vs. 3rd Gen.

 

Don't most Animal Control departments let you borrow traps for free? I thought it was part of most abatement programs.

 

I realized that this morning, I have no idea what it is

 

I think it's happened to a few people. @because_minitruck had a gif that did the same thing not too long ago. Maybe it was a site update or something

Anyway, back to cat!

 

Well that's morbid. I wouldn't do that to any animal no matter how much I disliked them.

Do a google search and more than likely you'll find a cat rescue or humane society nearby that will let you borrow a trap after you give them a deposit. Some will even trap them for you.

 

I live in an area with many old maple and pine trees everywhere. squirrels are a problem in the colder months getting into engines . I tend to turn the key to the first click for a second before I start it and if they are in the it scares them off.

 

maybe there is a cat in the gif?

 

I guess we have different opinions on the meaning of the word effective. Sounds more like slow and agonizing.

 

Well that's another level of screwed up. But just because your dad was a dick to animals doesn't mean you should be as well.

 

why did your dad do this?

 

Yes

 

I would say probably not. "Most" cats would learn from the first incident and not repeat it

 

Cats aint dumb, and they are scared. ​
