Errand Frazier got quite the surprise when he heard purring coming from his truck. He immediately started to try to figure out where it was coming from, even putting out some food and setting up a camera to see where the cat was coming from. The next morning the food was gone, but the footage showed no cat capers. Deciding there was no cat, he went on a fishing trip, and when he reached his destination he heard the purring again.
Without hesitation he got out his tool box and cut a hole in the side of his truck, and there he saw a kitten! The stowaway was lodged under the frame of his truck, so he cautiously drove to the humane society and asked for a little help.
The employees worked together to safely dislodge the little kitten, but not before they marvelled at the big hole Frazier cut through his truck. The kitten has been adopted to a family, and is reportedly safe and happy.
This animal lover has been known to rescue strays and ensure their safety, but this goes above and beyond!

BTW, have you had any luck keeping Tater off the TV?
On edit: that kitten is gorgeous!

They have almost stopped. As long as I was paying attention or had something up to try to stop her, she was relentless.

(17,111 posts)5. Ah, the sour voice appears.
No, he probably didn't. That's hindsight.
He wasn't sure exactly where the kitten was or what shape it was in. He acted first to find out.
I'm sure there will be eleventy billion ways listed here to point out what he could have done.
The bottom line for me is that he thought of the fastest way he could come up with to help the kitten.
For you, meh!

We have had cats for years. A kitten once crawled up into the engine compartment of my truck at a truckstop once and we kept him. I would have put a live trap near the truck. The story says the cat came out and went back inside the quarter panel.
