Firefighters in Texas helped rescue a tiny kitten that was found hiding inside a woman's car engine as she drove to work. Photo by Rightmeyow/Reddit
Sept. 15 (UPI) -- A Texas woman's morning commute was interrupted after she discovered a tiny kitten under the hood of her car.
Kara Tumlinson's husband Kevin recounted the story in a Reddit post, alongside photos of the gray striped stowaway they named Max.
"She's a project manager and had driven to a job site. When she got there, she heard this little guy meowing and spotted him inside the grill of her car," he wrote. "He wasn't happy and he seemed overheated."

(302 posts)1. I saw this happen to a cat one cold day in Colorado.
Apparently the cat was looking for a warm spot. Unfortunately, the driver didn't notice until after he got to work. It didn't end well for the cat.
