Kittens in Engines: Because People Cant Park Properly
Seriously? Kittens? In an engine compartment? Are we really still dealing with this level of astounding human carelessness? I mean, it’s not like tiny, defenseless creatures instinctively choose to cram themselves into hot, greasy metal boxes for fun. Someone – and I’m directing a very pointed glare at you, whoever you are – left their car sitting somewhere, probably unattended, attracting a family of strays with the promise of… what exactly? Crumbs? A comfortable resting place amongst the spark plugs?
And now we have Los Angeles County animal care personnel, bless their overworked and underappreciated souls, having to pull three kittens from an engine. Three! Not one. Not two. Three little bundles of fluff requiring rescue because some individual couldn’t be bothered to check where they were parking or secure the perimeter against opportunistic felines.
Im just picturing the scene: mechanics are probably delaying important repairs, valuable time is being diverted from other pressing animal welfare needs, and these poor kittens are traumatized. All because someone thought it was perfectly acceptable to provide a feline apartment complex under the hood of their car.
It’s not heartwarming. Its a monument to human negligence. Lets all take a moment to reflect on how we can be slightly less… baffling.
