Kitten sneaks into car's undercarriage, travels as a stowaway for miles while the owner drives home, until they finally hear her meows: ‘We're calling her Piper, short for Exhaust Pipe’

Before takeoff, please make sure your seat is in the upright position, your tray table is closed and locked, and no cats are sitting in your exhaust pipe.

It seems like every time we get into our car, and before we actually start driving, we should do a quick check to ensure there are no cats hidden somewhere you can't see.

Apparently, some cats find the undercarriage of cars comforting and warm, so they will climb up there and get comfortable while the cars are parked. The problem is, they don't always know when it's time to climb back out, so many felines find themselves stuck up there while a clueless hooman uses the car on a casual drive.

So, if you can, maybe do a swift check before you hit that gas pedal, because you can never know if today is the day a stray cat has chosen your car as it's safehaven.

When the little kitten below found herself traveling 60mph while sitting in a random car's undercarriage, she immediately started meowing and trying to inform the driver that she was down there. Despite hearing her call for help, the driver could not find the source and kept driving all the way home without knowing of the small feline in their car.

It was only hours after that, when the family was sitting down for dinner, that they all heard the kitten's cry for help again and managed to find her hiding in the garage…

I drove home 20 miles with a kitten in my undercarriage
When I started my drive home I thought I heard meowing… did I leave a video playing somewhere on TikTok, YouTube? Where is that coming from? Then it stopped. Drove halfway home, thought I heard it again. Pulled over into a parking lot, got on my hands and knees, popped the hood, nothing at all to be seen. Now I think I’m going crazy. Drove the rest of the way home, hours pass, now I’m eating dinner with my family and we hear a clear and distinct MEOW! coming from my garage… now I know I am in fact not crazy and kitten rescue mode fully commences.

After about an hour we finally got her out (more like she finally decided to climb down on her own). She is so small, but she has teeth and was walking/scurrying around just fine. She is missing her tail but it seems like she was born that way. Definitely not in the mood to be handled right now though.
Anyways, we are calling her Piper. Short for Exhaust Pipe, obviously.

Miss Piper traveled 20 miles and over 60mph at some times all the way home as a stowaway. I’m SO happy she is ok.
I’ve heard of cats crawling into cars, but always in the winter to get warm, never in warm weather (70-80 degrees yesterday where I live). And I’ve NEVER seen cats or kittens in the area that I work.

Despite the rocky start, it seems like this sweet kitten is in good hands. Hopefully, Piper won't ever have to climb into another car's exhaust pipe again!
