In the midst of my finally moving out, the third week in June, I jumped in the car for my last trip to my parents home to send out my daily work fax. No big event… or so I thought. Drove the 3 miles, got out and sent the fax. As I approached the car to leave, I heard a faint meow. Knowing I had brought all the cats to my new home, it slowly registered that my cat was in the engine! I hurridly opened the hood, fearing what I might see. What I did see was a big, orange cat pulling himself up out of the back part of the engine, infront of the drivers block by where the a/c belt is. OMG! I realized I drove the whole way with Fuzz practically sitting in my lap! I was freaking out! Luckily, he was in one piece and not visibly hurt. Upon further review, his front paw was a tad swollen. He is so fuzzy, that it took a few days to see that he had a small burn on his chest. I didn’t worry too much because he was very active and didn’t seem bothered when I touched it. The one thing that did change is that Fuzz flat out refuses to go outside anymore! Can’t say that I blame him! He did break the A/C belt while on his ride, but I’d rather have no a/c than no Fuzz! The belt got fixed, for free, the next week… ahhh, the Universe does LOVE ME!

Upon further reflection, 3 years ago, on the 4th of July, he came home muddied and wet with a burn on his underbelly. As if he had jumped on a firecracker, then jumped in a puddle to cool it off! Do cats have karma?
