I once knew someone who pulled into a gas station after 200 miles
on the road for a fillup, oil check, and so on.  The guy opened
the hood and said "Do you know you've got a cat in here?"  And so
he did -- a tiny, filthy, terrified, but utterly unharmed kitten
who had crawled up into the engine compartment and curled up in
a corner that was fortunately remote from the fan belts when the
driver started the car.
