1.9 missing cat problem solved

[RichP]

Yesterday morning we noticed we hadn't seen the cat in a while. She's never normally out longer than 30 mins or so, so there was some worried people in our house, shaking bowls and such. Never returned last night

Today, i went to silicone up an air intake hose. When i opened the bonnet i heard a meow. i eventually found the little deep in the engine bay.

By my calculation she has done 28 miles in three seperate trips, including a motorway.

Cat lives lost:

(1) she found a nice cool, secure part of the engine bay to get stuck in.
(2) i'm away for a week next week, and the hose sealing could easily have waited til my return
(3) she didnt dislodge on the motorway
(4) she didnt climb out 6 miles from home whilst parked

Cat is fine and well, if a little hungry and grimy.

I know that quite a few people have had problems with mice ( and rats ) nesting in their engine bays but nobody has yet suggested installing a cat as the solution

Glad that the cat survived the experience.

The Zed may fail the MOT now you have de-catted it ( sorry somebody had to crack that one)
