a kitten got killed in my engine bay before, this was in my other car. i suppose that the engine bay is nice and warm. a cat would loves to chill in warm spot like that. ne way, one night i started my car and there was this loud clunk. i was worry that something wrong with my car. i opened the hood to investigate, and there was a kitten caught in the alternator belt. i burried it. the next day, i saw the mom cat looking and calling for her missing kitten. poor kitten.

Air ride, you can slam it so it sits on the ground. Then you need 21" wheels. yeah they will rub like crazy, but won't leave any room.

get a pest control device. makes a high pitched noise and flashes a bright light. it keeps rodents and pests away. it works good. you can find them at brookstone or maybe at a home depot or at lowe's.

kill the cat and i'll find you... I work at the ASPCA!

Use something HUMANE, like sprinkle pepper around the car, or an electronic pest repeller...

I had a hose with a long sharp cut on one of my tranny hoses. I thought i blew my tranny. Could it have been a cat? It happened to someone I knew.

Speaking of cats I have to appear in court thursday for rescuing one. It seems there is a law in akron that says you cannot adopt a cat in the first three days it's captured or you will be charged with a misdemeanor. The dumbass at the shelter let us adopt it and now we have to go to court. All of Northeast Ohio news will be there. Should be pretty funny. I'll give a shout out to Acura-cl just in case it goes national.

My uncle & aunt used to run an apartment complex in LA and said cats in the engine happened all the time there.
I was out visiting once when it happened, I didn't look under the hood but you could see the blood from underneath.
