A CO GALWAY cat had a lucky escape earlier today when an eagle-eyed garda spotted her head stuck in the engine grille of a car – a car that was in motion.
The plucky feline was noticed by a motorcycle garda who passed the car in traffic.
It was a close-run thing for the furry interloper – the driver, who is not believed to be the cat’s owner and initially thought he was being stopped for speeding, was on his way to Clare, a drive of over an hour in length.
Once the car was stopped, the cat was discovered to have its head firmly wedged between the grille. Thankfully, after a deal of dismantling, she was rescued uninjured, gardaí said in a tweet.
Cats will often climb under car bonnets, attracted by the warmth of the engine. It makes a snug, if highly dangerous, place for a nap.
All’s well that ends well for this particular four-legged adventurer, eight lives still to go.
