Flipping cats

    Went home to visit my parents recently, who have 6 cats. I parked the car next to the house and went inside, but had to come back out nearly straightaway for something.

    What did I find but 4 of the cats sunning themselves on my car! Flipping cats. There's muddy prints all over the bonnet, roof and back window and even after a 100 mile drive today, there are still cat hairs on the bonnet. By the time I was back out with a camera, we were down to just two cats.

    Still though, must admit that the ginger cats looked great against the black of the car.

    Lol somthing similar happened to me when I pulled over at jack whites in Wicklow for food. Came out to find 3 cats all over my car! ****ers wouldnt move off it.. tempted as I was to drive on with them on it. I felt that may be a tad cruel. I just startled them a bit.

    I've lost the pics of it (must have deleted)

    I actually have to admire them. They had been on the coal bunker lid when I pulled into the yard. Over the space of a few minutes, they decided, en masse, to move over to my bonnet and roof. Cheeky buggers, and then they look disdainfully at you when you tell them to scram.

    Worst is in winter when they crawl up into a still-warm engine bay. Mate of mine had that problem once... didn't find out about it until the poor pussy got caught in the timing belt.

    Made a bit of a mess of the engine alright.

    Well lucky it was just the timing belt and not the cat-alytic converter :D

    My family have a long history with cats and engines. We had a tailless cat for several years after he lost his tail in a jeep engine. Another time, one of our Jack Russells was chasing one of the cats who went up into the engine of my father's engine. The terrrier ripped out a lot of the wiring while trying to get at the cat. And we also had a kitten who climbed into a car (a door must have been left open), and wasn't found until the driver heard mewing outside Dublin. (we're in West Cork)..

    Looking back over all this, I don't know why my parents still have cats.
