Lots of people take their cars in for a check-up when they start hearing strange noises, but a meow usually isn’t one of them. According to a video posted by mechanics at Gary Yeomans Ford Lincoln in Daytona, Fla., a customer drove a car into the shop for care and while repairing the vehicle, one of the technicians heard a meow coming from the engine. That’s when the mechanics realized this car was in need of much more than a tune up and got right to work to free the cat.
It turns out the that the cat belonged to the vehicle owner’s neighbors. Apparently the kitty escaped from his home and crawled into the engine, where it was warm. This was one very lucky cat, as the car was driven about 10 miles to the service station! Thankfully, mechanics got him out just in time!
In the winter, cats will find anywhere to keep warm. If there are any outdoor cats in your neighborhood, be sure to do a quick check for hiding felines by knocking on the hood before starting your car!
