Stowaway Kitten Survives Trip From Massachusetts To Wallingford While In Car Engine

WALLINGFORD, CT — A kitten likely used some of its nine lives but survived a more than 100-mile trip from Natick, Massachusetts to Wallingford while stowed away in a car engine.

Paul Zine, of Massachusetts, told WCVB in Boston that he doesn’t know how the 4-month-old stray kitten got into his car engine but said it’s a “miracle” that it survived.

Zine made the trip from Natick to Wallingford to get his car serviced at his relative’s Toyota dealership and the technician made a startling discovery when he opened the hood and the kitten jumped out and ran all over the shop, WCVB reports.

The technician took the cat to the vet and then home, naming him Tacoma.
