a BBCDavid’s wife said:He came to the house yelling at me to go see the car. I didn’t expect to see two eyes and a furball. With a branch, I gently tried to turn it to see if it was breathing and what I found was a terrified cat.”
Scared Rose tried to hide more in the engine and His arrest ended, “without any way” to get out. The local vet advised David and the woman to contact an association that would come to Rose’s rescue.
“I was terrified. The boisterous journey to school left her very frightened,” Kim Brecher of the British Cat Protection Society told the BBC.
In order to get Rose out, I had to remove one of the front tires and jack the car up.
“Rose came running around the house like nothing happened, but I’m sure she had one of her seven lives,” the owner joked.
