[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1708630, member: 24027"] For those of you with barn cats/kittens, ever have one crawl up in the undercarriage or engine of a truck, tractor, etc. and not know how to get it out? Had a "situation" this week: Hooked up the stock trailer earlier this week to take the culls to the sale barn and left the truck/trailer down at the barnyard overnight to load & hall the next morning. Later the next day (at the house), I kept hearing a kitten cry, but couldn't figure out where it was coming from. A friend of mine was visiting and she googled "kittens crying", turned up the volume, played a video of kittens crying, and set her phone near the truck. I'll be damned if the kitten didn't respond to the video and we were able to figure out where it was - waaay down in the engine. Brilliant! I shimmied under the truck and could barely reach it, but eventually got it out. Except it went full-out Gladiator and scratched & bit the ever lovin' snot outta me and I chucked it in the woods. And proceeded to stem the flow of blood with practically an entire box of Band Aids. Those claws & teeth are like frickin' razor blades!!! (Note to self: next time wear gloves and possibly full armor) Anyway, figured it would either make its way back to the barn, hook up with the garage cats or perish in the woods, but at least we wouldn't have a rotting kitten in the engine. Nope! Next morning it was back in the engine. What to do? Drove the truck back down to the barnyard. Played the "kittens crying" video again. I could hear the kittens pitiful meow - and so did its mama. It worked and they are now reunited! Who knew? [/QUOTE]
