    Had a cat sleep on the fan shroud and next morning when I turned the truck on the tail got dragged by the fan and the cat got smacked against the radiator and died. Smelled gross.

    Some years ago, a rat made its home under the hood of my wife's 2007 Town & Country. I discovered the mess when I was checking oil. The labels on the radiator hoses had been chewed off, but the hoses were OK. Much of the hood insulation had been removed and redeposited inside the right fender. It was a mess and smelled bad. But it was also evident that it wasn't recent.

    I asked my wife if the car had been running OK, and she replied that it had. She did comment that it had smelled like she was driving past a Burger King for about a week. So I jacked it up and crawled underneath. There I found bits of bone, teeth, and so on vulcanized to the catalytic converter.
