Kittens can get themselves into some real messes. 

With the dexterity of a nimble mountain lion, but the brain cell count of an avocado, kittens possess a rare ability for mischief and tomfoolery. Able to climb any vertical surface, but with no concept of self-preservation, they're uniquely equipped to be a total menace, burying themselves in the drywall, climbing tall trees, and crawling through the water pipes. You've got to keep your eye on a kitten at all times, or else they might just surprise you with their next hiding spot.

  • This man was flummoxed when he arrived at the workshop one morning, certain he was hearing phantom mewing all day. He approached his fellow workers across the street, asking if they'd heard the ghostly meows of a cat somewhere (or if they were just trying to mess with him), but they denied it. As the meowing purrsisted, the tradesman felt he'd lost his marbles, until the meowing summoned a phantom more adorable and far more tangible than he'd imagined. 

  • "I thought I was losing my mind!"

  • Yesterday at the shop I kept hearing a kitten. Every time I opened the door to investigate, it would stop. I walked around my building, I popped the hood. I checked my truck bed. I checked my interior. I found nothing.

  • I was losing my mind. I even started to think the city workers across the street were messing with me from across the street. They assured me they weren't. This morning as I left my HOUSE I heard a single meow. I thought OH NO HERE IT IS AGAIN!.

  • Turns out I wasn't losing my mind. This little thing was underneath my truck when I drove home from work and crawled underneath my porch. Say hello to Pivot.

  • Quicksilver1964 Curiously, we had something similar happen to us! One day my mother opened a glass window that opened to the garage and there was a bat!

  • In the end, it was a kitten with huge ears all covered in grease and oil that crawled into the car. Same color as yours. We named him Nero. Extremely lovable, easy personality.
