- our next-door neighbor had a cat crawl into the engine fo their car
- and die a few weeks ago. They didn't use that car for a couple weeks, or at
- least they didn't turn the fan on and it wasn't near any moving parts - so it
- was real ripe by the time they discovered it. The whole family was in the car
- and apparently they were all blaming each other before they twigged ;)
- Anyway, my neighbor took the car to 3 garages trying to get someone
- to take it out for him, but no one would touch it, he ended up having to
- do it himself. After this accomplishment, he proudly showed us the cat. It
- was an *extremely* large cat.
