Cat tales - the mysterious travelers

This cat adventure comes from the family of Adair County Magistrate Billy Dean Coffey and describes heroic efforts to rescue stowaways in the car.

By Jackie Coffey


You might call this a Cat Tale!

I went to visit a friend I go to Church with and was gone about an hour and a half.

When I got home Billy and my grandson were resting on the car porch as they had been filling flower pots with dirt for me to set out my flowers.

We were talking and started hearing a cat meowing. We'd had a cat to come here a few months ago and she had three kittens about three weeks ago.



We kept looking for her and never saw her so Billy told Kayden to raise the hood on my car and soon as he did the cat jumped out!

It just kept meowing and meowing so I gave it something to eat but it kept on and would walk all around the car.

Kayden knew where the kittens had been since they were born so he went to see if they were still there - and they weren't.

So he looked under the hood and finally he heard a little meow but couldn't see it.

Billy got under the car and tried to see if he could see it but couldn't.

Finally Kayden saw it and reached and got it way down in there.

Then he saw the head of another one and he worked and worked and finally got it out.

He didn't hear anymore meowing so he just thought the other one fell out and got killed but finally after awhile he heard a faint meow so he went back and tried looking inside and he finally worked and got it out.

It took about two hours to get those kittens out.

I guess the moral to the story is to always raise the hood and check to see if anything is under there before you take off.

Billy moved them to the farm this week so I won't drive off with them anymore!
