Kitten survives 70-mile drive under truck
WENATCHEE, Wash., Sept. 19 (UPI) -- A Washington state man says a 6-week-old kitten with a bad leg made a 70-mile trip hanging onto the undercarriage of his truck and lived to meow about it.
"I never knew she was there till I heard the faintest, tiniest meowing," Rod Thomas told The Wenatchee World Sunday. "It was a real surprise".
Thomas, 45, was on his way to a morning sales trip from East Wenatchee to Moses Lake when a bird flew into the path of his Ford F-150 pickup. He says he didn't see the bird's remains on the highway and decided to take a look when he got to his destination.
At Moses Lake Thomas checked the grill and although he didn't find the dead bird he noticed a thin, furry tail sticking out from behind the skid-plate protecting the truck's transmission, the newspaper reported.
