Realizing the magnificence of the unusual manual transmission offered in just 1,400(ish) 1993 and 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokees, a cat climbed up onto that transmission previously this summertime and wriggled into my Jeep through the shifter hole in the flooring. Then it brought to life 4 button-cute kittens, which were playing in the back of my Jeep prior to I left for Germany 2 weeks earlier. Now I’m back and 3 cats are gone! One stays in there in addition to an ugly-tailed beast!
Flying to Germany 2 weeks earlier and leaving LA for a bit led to a great deal of missed out on opportunities; I lost on an opportunity to purchase a terrific Ultravan RECREATIONAL VEHICLE (the seller bailed on me prior to I left, then offered it while I was gone — womp womp), and 3 of the 4 kittens in my Jeep flew the cage! It’s fine, as that’s simply nature’s method, and the kittens were getting huge and energetic; it was just a matter of time. Look at these rascals simply prior to my departure!:
I invested less than 2 weeks in Germany, and the scenario became a comprehensive shitshow:
A possum!
The odd thing was that, upon coming to the scene, I observed the mom cat, whom I’ve called Zee, sitting about a foot far from the possum, simply enjoying it consume. There was no meowing or hissing — everybody appeared to be getting along fantastic.
As I approached the Jeep, Zee hopped out, however the possum continued devouring. The thing appeared overall indifferent towards me; I knocked on my Jeep window difficult, however the marsupial simply sat there in the freight location of my Holy Grail and consumed catfood. Not a care on the planet!
Eventually the possum scooted into the stack of extra parts that I’d inserted into the Jeep prior to hauling it from my old house in Michigan to my present area near LA. This triggered a small concern: The kitten was likewise buried because stack of parts! The picture above reveals the kitten in the back of the Jeep the night prior.
Upon seeing the possum, the kitten darted to the window sill on the driver’s side and prepared to take a leap of faith.
Having never ever left the Jeep, the kitten thought twice and — prior to leaping to the ground — it altered its course and climbed up onto the driver’s side mirror, and after that onto the hood. Then it saw me, a much bigger, two-legged beast:
As I approached, the kitten rapidly climbed up onto the guest’s side mirror and chose to take its opportunities with the possum versus needing to socialize with a baldness car-nut. Can’t state I blame it.
I saw the possum’s tail on the guest’s side floorboard, though I then rapidly turned away and prior to I understood it, it was scampering out of the Jeep and towards the storage locations on the external edges of the parking area.
The kitten I later on saw resting on the control panel. I returned the following night and, well…
There’s more Catopian material to come. I’m still attempting to catch the other 3 to offer this little cat a friend and due to the fact that I desire them all vaccinated and repaired to keep that nest in check, however that’s for another day. My friend got bitten by this little kitten, whom we’ve called jaws and who is really rather enjoyable when not cornered in an untidy Jeep, so we need to manage that. And we need to get Jaws mingled a bit more, as it’s presently a licensed Scaredy-Cat, however once again: More on this later on.
