Letters: More about that rooftop cat, and is it also the motor cat? by Linda Waggener The mystery cat who claimed our rooftop has yet another name suggestions in the note below, and following that, a reader asks if this can be her motor-cat? We'll see the new name suggestions first: I think you should name the cat Roofy if it's a boy, or Sayde if it's a girl. Tiffany tiffany.1019@hotmail.com Linda, I don't know who this cat belongs to, but it looks like the one that my Jack Russell Terrier, Butch, chased under my car the last week of August. The cat got under the hood and into the motor. I opened the hood to chase it out, but no luck. I called 911 and they said that a water hose in the face would bring it out fast. I sprayed it and it would reach its paws around the hoses under the hood and hang on for dear life. I sprayed the cat until I was afraid I'd drown it, so I called my Vet to get the phone number of the new Animal Shelter. I told them my problem. They asked If I could drive my car, with the cat, into town. (I live in Glensfork). I said, sure, I'll try it. Before my 2 grandsons and I got in the car to leave, I poked at the cat to see if it was still alive. It didn't move. I thought, well, dead or alive, I can't have this cat hanging on the the hoses under the hood. We went on to the Animal Shelter and they were waiting for us. Everyone came running out wanting to know if we were the ones that had the cat in the motor. Yes, it was us. Everyone looked at the cat. It was alive. We tried pulling on the poor thing. It wouldn't budge. We tried moving hoses. Still no luck. A few of the people got on their cell phones and started calling around town to see if they could borrow some tools to take parts off of my motor to get the cat out. Finally, they located someone with tools. While they went to get the tools, I was busy fanning the poor cat. It was really hot that day and the heat from the motor made it even hotter for the little thing. After taking several parts off of the motor of my car, we got the cat out. It was okay. I'm not sure that all of the parts to my car were put back on right, but I don't hear a "purr" under my hood now. Maybe the same cat got away and came to your house. I just hope it doesn't get under your hood. A Tiger in your tank is one thing, but a cat in your motor doesn't work. Ann Murphy anndishman7@msn.com To see this cat, click on 'Photo Archives'.
