I once drove six miles in a terrible rain storm to the feed mill.
When I parked the truck I heard an angry mew.  One of my kittens
had crawled onto something under my 4-wheel drive pickup and had
hung throughout the trip.  She was as wet as a kitten could be
and still be a mammal.  She obviously got ALL the splash from the
road.  There were no after effects once she dried off and out,
but I don't think she ever hung around the truck anymore.
