Living in apartments suck. I can't have pets but this kitten here is a stray, I assume, and it was hurt when it was sleeping in my trucks fan/engine compartment. The scream it let out was ghastly it's been a week now and the kitten seems to be alright. I guess the fan hit it's upper legs. Anyhow, I've sort of adopted it, maybe me and a few others who feed it. I don't know what to say here, I guess I just want to rant in a way. Spay/neuter your pets so we don't have so many homeless animals out there. Seeing a starving and hurting animal like this just ruins my fucking day.

I guess the tip to honk your horn before you start the car was for realz... anyway, did you take the kitten to a vet after injuring it?

No, nearest vet's 30 miles. I just gave it something to drink and eat with a pallet to rest on. It seemed to be walking later that day and now it seems fine. Also the way I was raised, animals were sort of expendable or interchangeable. I know, I grew up around some assholes, but I figured a vet would be overkill. I seem to be the only one around here who seems to give a fuck about it. Looks like no one else is feeding it much or steadily. But it's always got a home with me.

Anyone else ever get stray cats sleeping in their engines. That's the second time it's happened in 2 years here. The first cat wasn't so lucky and it ruined my week and it's still hard to forget about. The first one got hurt sort of bad and was freakishly defiant when you would try to grab it. So I called the local animal control thinking they'd have a humane way to deal with it but the guy just got a broom and started stabbing/poking it to get it out. From what I hear about the local animal control, it was probably dead later that night. Their way of dealing with them is to just take the strays out and shoot them in the country. It's the smalltown, cheapass way of doing things. I fucking hate this town sometimes.

Well its not always a stray critter that finds its way into a truck engine. I've lost a 'grandson' by him climbing up into my boyfriend's truck and it was his curosity that killed him. =/ But yes, animals need to be spayed/neutered because seeing an animal hurt -- or worse dead -- is horrible to witness.

I hope kitty feels better in the meantime.

OP, you rule. Sadly there are less and less people like you these days...

I once found a cat in a parking lot with lots of injuries (either caught in a car's fan or by a vicious dog) and I had to take it to a vet to be put down. It still is one of my worst memories ever.
