Hi Glenn , Sorry about your friend . Cats can be so frustrating yet worm their way into your affections ! We have somewhere around twenty cats and 14 dogs . A couple of years ago I got in my pickup to go into town which is about nine miles away during a real heavy snow storm . The snow was 4-6 inches deep when I left . I'm two miles from the blacktop on a gravel road. So on the return trip about an hour later just as I turn off the blacktop onto the gravel I had to swerve out of the ruts to miss something black buried in the snow . I got curious and backed up to it , got out and found out it was a black cat huddled in the rut and covered in snow . It didn't really want anything to do with me but I didn't want to leave it there to freeze so I finally got it into the truck and went home . My wife asked me at the door why I was carrying such and such ( I don't remember the cats name ) into the house . I told her where I found it and she said it was our cat . I guess it got up under the truck and rode till I stopped at the stop sign to turn onto the blacktop . There was another one that rode under my truck all the way into town one morning , down the interstate for two miles , through town to the hardware store I stopped at and then on to where I was working at on the far side of town ( about another two miles through five stoplights ) and stayed on that truck for another hour while I was at work . I was working at a wastewater treatment plant at that time doing some indoor pipe layout when one of the city guys comes in and asks if I owned any cats . We went outside and sure enough there was one of our cats . She had crawled up under the cities pickup . Had to take an hour off to get her home . They both came through things scared but unharmed . Sorry for the lack of names but with that many cats names don't make much difference . They all come if we holler " here kitty , kitty " . I know a few of their names and actually my wife has a name for all of them but I don't know them . I will say that with as many cats as we have and have had a truely special one is hard to come by . We had one like that a couple of years ago but he decided to curl up and nap in the shade of the rear truck tire , he didn't make it , that broke both of us up . He would ride on my shoulders as I did my chores and never ever use his claws if he lost his grip and he'd just be purring the whole time . ...Randy
