It's not the first time I've heard of it happening - it's a warm place...

I found a chuckie egg under the bonnet of my Transit once

[lozz]

Its the 2nd one, ive killed,
not intentionaly tho,

Yup your right ithink theyre going in car engines to get /keep warm
iwill have to get an undertray for the pic after its been cleaned out hopefully thatl keep them out,
ive just pulled my old shed down the cats in the area used for shelter, iwill knock them up a dog kenel type thing me thinks,

ive been to lazy lately to put the car in the Garage at night iwill have to start doing me thinks,

iknow its only a cat but im sort of gutted

Something sad when a cat or dog dies, my cat a 10 year old scruffy black persian got run down about a month ago, i seen her sitting on the side of the road, thought she was sleeping but must have been hit by a car.

As for messes i recall my dog got a maxi rabbit and decided that the best place to leave it was on my jeep, the jeep sat out in the field for a week before i got it petrol, when i got to the jeep and filled it up, i looked in the back and felt a bit sick

[lozz]

Lukily ive never run a cat over,
Hit a sheep once, years ago in a mk 1 festa, the thing came through the screen at 50mph.
wrote car off,
had to pay farmer for the sheep, it wasnt cheap either,

These silly cats,ive killed tho its always been whilst there under the bonnet,
last one was in a vectra,it got out but died en-route to vet,
this posh persian one-got mangled via, aux belt area

i suppose it shows the dangers of putting you hand round moving parts of an engine.

hitting a sheep would do some damage a worry is if their feet go through the windscreen and they start kicking a lot of injury can happen.
although i wouldnt say a car would fare too well against a cow

[lozz]

Idont think a cow wouid be good going thru the screen,

Yeah sheep kick about for a few minutes, irember diving out the festa to try and drag the sheep out,
it was back in the days of madness, Rallying the car through the country lanes, ilearnt my lesson well,

never did it again tho, as ilooked at it as , it couid of been a human,

aaaah its horrible thats desgusting and whats worse it would need to be cleared away quickly otherwise it would stink.
how did the body become entwangled up in round the bits of the engine thats what suprises me.
is the a class one real in cant tell on this small screen but the horse looks a bit cartooney anyone that would have been in the car wouldnt have survived that.

my dad told me of a story about him back in the 80s he was with a few friends on a speedboat on the river near here and round a bend there was a dead cow floating on the river (they fill up with a lot of gas) and the boat hit it he said it was like a bomb that left a really awful smell and they got covered. they had to turn back home

That happens to all animals, what's in the digestive system starts working on the body from the inside and the gasses build up... I was watching some program on 5 on demand last night where they were excavating a medieval cemetery in Ireland and this is how they explained why all the bones were scattered around inside the graves - the gasses build up so much the bodies explode.

The BMW/deer combo did the rounds a few years back, along with one of an M3 (I think it was) which had hit a bird with the windscreen - it had punctured a hole in it & sprayed the contents of the bird inside the car. Also doing the rounds was a car with the head and legs of a small kangaroo poking out the grill - "what's that Skippy, you can hear a car?" Interesting shot of a roof-mounted Dobbin there, reminds me of Bill Bryson's (yeah, I know) description of a moose - something like a half ton of meat held at windscreen height by 4 small sticks.

a hedgehog decides it needs to cross the road, but its afraid because its never done so before. it meets
a pair of rabbits and asks them for help, they say when you see a car coming get between the lights and duck. so the first rabbit runs across no car comes, the next rabbit runs across but sees a car coming ducks and is ok.
so the hedgehog cautiously and slowly begins to cross the road watched by the two rabbits, a car comes up the road and the hedgehog lines up between the lights and ducks down. THUD
one rabbit says to the other "you forgot to say what to do if the car is a robin reliant"

That's horrible Lozz, having a cat being mashed about near the Aux Belts/Alternator

On a less-sensitive note you were lucky it didn't jam the bottom pulley and snap the cam belt!

A cat got locked in my Escrote van once when I was out for the night and set the alarm off constantly and drained the battery......sh*t every where....pissed ......and used my seat as a scratch-pole
