Yes, I too tried silly kitties and realized a 5 mpg improvement in gas
mileage. I had to change the oil filter much more often though.

The age and type of cat seem to make a small difference in results.

        Large Cats:  Almost impossible to fit into the oil fill orifice.
                     Sustained multiple scratches and other injuries with this
                     procedure.

        Small Kittens: Much easier, just put on gloves and pop them right
                       in there.

        Slick-50: Hard to find in stores anymore. Not good due to clogging
                  of small oil ducts. Also more expensive than silly kitties.
