Firefighters rescue curious kitten trapped inside car engine

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."

After calling her husband and receiving numerous suggestions from luring the kitten out with food to spritzing it with water, Tumlinson decided to slowly drive the car to a nearby fire station for help.

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.
