Wednesday morning we headed for the car around 8:00 a.m., and when Terry started the car we heard this "meowing" start at a very loud and insistent rate. Terry turned off the motor, (I've heard horror stories about cats in the motor) and we raised the hood to see what we had. We had a tiny black and white kitten that was scared to death and ran up farther under the hood to a spot we could not reach or see. We got canned cat food and tried to lure it out, but finally had to get the water hose which obviously made it mad and it tried to run to the other side of the motor. Terry grabbed for the cat and he/she bit the fire out of him. Since it was a stray cat, we realized we had to keep it to check for possible rabies. We found out that we had to quarentine it for ten days to watch for signs of rabies. The only way to actually test 
for rabies is to kill it and cut off its head. Terry also had to get a tetanus shot. After calming down, and being fed, the kitten is just as sweet as can be. He/she has not hissed or acted the least bit wild. He/she just purrs and wants some attention. Hannah has spent every moment at the office sitting at his/her cage reading to him/her and showing the pictures, drawing him/her, and singing to the kitten. She has named it Star Dazzler Midnight. I think we may have us a new cat. It will not be joining our household cat, but may become an office cat. I've talked about getting a cat for the office because of our rodent problem--I guess I got my answer.
