gross- need help -- cat killed

I have never had this happen before, but there is a first for everything. My husband went to start the truck this morning and a cat was under the hood. He tried to start the truck, weird thump noise, we kinda figured we may have knew what it was, he lifted the hood and our fear was reality. How do we get it out?

Seriously, I would think piece by piece and then hit it with a high powered hose...

I'm sorry to hear that Dawn... I don't know, I'd try to remove the peices and maybe hose it off? I don't know, but I'm trying to bump this for you so maybe someone can help you. Sorry you had to deal with this today, sorry for the cat too.

Just drive it. By the time he gets to work, lunch will be cooked. Serve it with kimchee for the authentic touch.

Just pull it out and wash it down. If it's stuck between a belt and a pulley, just turn the engine over again until it falls out

...running it. It'll wear/fall out eventually.

"Honey, we're gonna need a new cat..."
