Kitty Powered Car

[TheGuru]

A driver whose car engine was making an unusual purr was amazed to find the noise was being made by a kitten.
The ginger kitten, thought to be about eight weeks old, had climbed inside the engine in Aberdeen, reports the BBC.
Victor Gallacher, 61, of Bucksburn, had been driving for several miles across the city in his Rover 400 when he became aware of an unusual noise.

He told the BBC: "There was suddenly a terribly loud noise so I stopped and looked under the car and could not see anything
"Then I looked in the engine and there was a kitten under the battery. When I looked again it had moved to the fan belt. It was terrified.
"So I grabbed it by the scruff of the neck and put it in an empty box I had and sat it in the front seat with me. It did not seem to be hurt.
"The kitten was taken for a check-up and seemed to be okay. It's impossible to say where it got into the car. It could have been the end of it, but thankfully it survived."

Scottish SPCA ambulance driver Marion Lamont told BBC Scotland: "He was a very very lucky kitten.
"He was very shaken but unhurt - he was a bit oily on his face, ears and chin."

The kitten is being cared for at Mrs Murray's Home for Stray Dogs and Cats and Re-homing Centre in Aberdeen's Seaton area.
