Harridan: Call me heartless, but I don't think I would have pulled over based on the word of some stranger, and then let them mess with my car.

Potential carjack, anyone? If it's the kitten or my life, the kitten gets it.

You are a horrible person and should feel bad.

Snotnose: Never saw the cat again. Began my turn from organized religion, going to church is more important than finding/helping a family member?

Church sucks. Cats rule.

Your Dad was being a dick. Don't blame the church.

neilbradley: We all have iPhones, so we start Googling how to open the hood of an s550. In the meantime, I ask the woman who's driving to call someone to ask them how to open the hood. This goes on for a while.

Goes on for a while? Didn't "how do I open a farking hood of an S550" yield any useful results? How about looking around under the steering weel or near the kick panel where it is on the vast majority of cars sold?

My worst suspicions of Mercedes drivers, confirmed. Not sure what the other guy's excuse was.

Not sure if she is calico, I think that requires white fur which I do not see in the pics. Looks more like a torti.

it probably showed how to open the hood with a flash animation.

cptjeff: Snotnose: I still think of that poor cat, I can't imaging how terrified she was when the car started, and found herself hurt and lost in a strange neighborhood.

It found its way home. As a species (hell, as a taxonomic family), cats have a very, very good sense of direction. It was probably just a bad morning, not anything life changing.

You'd think he would have noticed if his cat came home.

When I was a kid, I remember this one time we came out of a shopping center to the parking lot. When we got in, we could hear a tiny mewling coming from the engine compartment. We looked, but we couldn't find anywhere in the engine. After a bit of poking around, we realized that the cat had somehow gotten into the fender and had no way of climbing out on its own.

We drove to the nearest Nissan dealership and explained the issue, and they removed the plastic backing inside the wheel well and let the kitten (tiny little baby kitten, couldn't have been more than a month old) out. It was covered in grease and undercoating. We put the kitten in a cardboard box we got from the dealership and headed back to the shopping center where the adventure started.

Once we got there, we tossed the kitten into the bushes and threw the cardboard box away in the mall dumpster.

I think we went home and had some ice cream after that.
