THE STORY FROM OP:
So, I finished my shift and hopped in my car. Considering traffic, my commute usually takes about 40 to 50 minutes to get home. It was around 6 or 7 PM in June in Italy, so definitely warm weather (I’m aware that cats in winter jump into car engines to stay warm).
About halfway through, I heard a faint meowing noise. Luckily, I had my music turned off! I never drive without music, but for some reason, I didn’t have any playing that day. At first, I thought the meowing was coming from a garden near the houses along the street I was driving on since I had my windows rolled down. Then I heard it again.
I called my girlfriend and said, "Baby, I think I’m going crazy—I hear voices." She told me to check the car really well. I pulled over at a bus stop, checked the car, and found nothing. At that point, I decided to just get home and inspect it thoroughly. By then, the meowing was getting louder, and it sounded like crying, almost as if she was saying, "I’m here! Save me!"

THE STORY, CONTINUED:
Terrified that she was stuck or hurt, I called the fire department. I had no idea what to do—I know nothing about cars, let alone which parts I could take apart to free her. Some people from a nearby café that was closing for the night came over to help and said she was above the tire, behind the right headlight.
When the firefighters arrived, she panicked and ran under the car next to mine. But they managed to catch her, and then they told me, "Well, you can keep her!" The next day, I took her straight to the vet… and now here she is! She even has a big brother she absolutely adores!
