- FormerBabby, on 10/20/2009, -0/+18Everyone is hardcore in the Bronx.
- quantumd, on 10/21/2009, -1/+14Buried for being misleading. The cat was not in the engine...it was in the engine bay. This happens all the time and cats survive. It happened not too long ago, at the shelter I work at, when someone dumped some kittens in the parking lot.
- thegrantman, on 10/21/2009, -0/+9He was stuck in the catalytic converter.
- cosworth99, on 10/21/2009, -0/+8Removing your cat is in violation of federal emissions laws.
- popzero, on 10/21/2009, -0/+7My folks found their cat this way. They named him Singe.
- amoirae, on 10/21/2009, -0/+6My pussy got stuck in an engine!
/Mrs Slocumbe - MxM111, on 10/21/2009, -0/+5In my stomach, gvoakes, that's why I could not get out.
- Cat - kplo, on 10/20/2009, -0/+5Snap!
- phylum, on 10/21/2009, -0/+5one jumped into the radiator fan in my truck when i started it up ,heard a thug stopped the engine ,looked and saw it was the cat ,out cold, when it woke up it jumped out with no apparent injuries, i expected to see a gruesome site, thankfully it was only minor.
- Jektal, on 10/21/2009, -1/+6"...the terrified tabby was stuck in the block of a 2005 Nissan Murano.... Emergency Services Unit detectives were able to unwedge the cat by removing the vehicle's battery and other parts."
When you remove a car's battery, you're nowhere near opening the engine block. Buried as inaccurate. - riseandthefall, on 10/21/2009, -2/+6"The cat, and his remaining eight lives, was handed over to New York City Animal Car and Control..." where it would later be euthanized.
- brickwall99, on 10/21/2009, -1/+5I seriously doubt the cat was stuck IN the engine.
Maybe under the hood. - UnFriendlyFire, on 10/21/2009, -0/+3Dugg for very esoteric reference.

It's why people abandon their pets on the street; they actually have a better chance there, though the authorities would rather people didn't know that.
- ravedigger, on 10/21/2009, -0/+3Thank you. I came to the comments section to angrily point out the same thing, but you beat me to it.
- XTomTomX, on 10/21/2009, -0/+3Don't worry, Vietnamese people need to eat as well.
Circle of life, and all that. - bluerei, on 10/21/2009, -0/+3There was a story on my local news this morning about a wolf getting caught in the bumper after getting hit, and still alive 600 miles later with only a scratched paw. These animals are up to something and I'm not liking it.
- Coffeedemon, on 10/21/2009, -0/+3I remember being 10 or so when mom found the neighbours cat had infiltrated the engine of our car. The turn of the key was met by a huge thump as (I assume) it was flung upwards into the hood... life changed a little that day.
- lukas88, on 10/21/2009, -0/+2"Do not refer to him as a junkyard cat, he has a name - Agent Jack Bauer!"
- master69better, on 10/21/2009, -0/+2so pun very much intended
- generaleet, on 10/21/2009, -1/+2I don't know about you but I'm THRILLED about this.
- securesystems, on 10/21/2009, -0/+1My mom had a cat that climbed into the fan shroud of her car one night. The cat suffered some cuts and some vision loss in one eye, but survived. For years after that she would blow the horn before starting the car to scare away any cats that might be inside. The neighbors probably thought she was crazy for blowing the horn while sitting in the driveway, but it seemed to be a solution to the problem.
- angrycat, on 10/21/2009, -0/+1In the pic you can see he was snuggling up to the cars radiator which is warm. Luckily he wasn't snuggling on the side where the radiator fans are.
- oilcan, on 10/21/2009, -0/+1Now that is one durable pussy.
- bluerei, on 10/23/2009, -0/+1That's the one.
- NBCLocal, on 10/21/2009, -0/+1Are you talking about this coyote? http://www.buzzfeed.com/mjs538/coyote-survives-wil ...
It's a little sketchy if you ask me. - ultimathule, on 10/22/2009, -0/+1"TALK ABOUT AN AVERTED CAT-ASTROPHE."
- wertach, on 10/21/2009, -0/+1Dugg for the link on the page to Cheerleaders of the NFL! On a side note related to the OP. Cats like warm places, That is why they like to sit on your lap, it isn't because they love you. If you have a kitty outside check your engine compartment before you start it up!
- pak314, on 10/21/2009, -0/+1Cat gets stuck in Bronx, Survives.
- Gryphon65, on 10/21/2009, -0/+1Cats will sometimes climb up into the engine compartment because it is warm. Sadly when the car starts they might panic and get into the fan or belts.
- Hayaru, on 10/22/2009, -0/+1It wanted a ride to the drive thru.
- kimbomitt, on 10/21/2009, -1/+1Why would this cat have a cheeseburger? Now, that's just silly.
- ADifferentUsern, on 10/21/2009, -0/+0Seriously, when are cats going to stop crawling into engine bays? We need the government to do something to stop these heinous cat crimes.
- XTomTomX, on 10/21/2009, -1/+1HEY!!!......I LIKE cats!!
..with a bit of ketchup and relish... - anchorman84, on 10/21/2009, -2/+2Agent Jack Bauer?
- rwhittak3, on 10/21/2009, -0/+0It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
- satanherself, on 10/21/2009, -1/+1It's just a cat... who cares?
- travislh, on 10/21/2009, -6/+1thats why cats suck. if it would have been a similar sized dog then he wouldnt have been dumb enough to get in a car engine in the first place.
