    No Cat-dillac, Just a Toyota.

    Cat survives trip on roof of owner's car

    A cat had a narrow escape from serious injury after it clung to the roof of its owner's car as he drove to work.

    Bono, a grey persian, was rescued when owner John Sutton saw it slide down his windscreen as he slowed in traffic in Tauranga, New Zealand.

    He thought he'd chased Bono away from his Toyota Celica before he left for work. But a short distance from his home Bono slid down the windscreen and gripped the wiper blades after Mr Sutton slowed down.

    "It gave me a hell of a fright. Then I realised it was Bono and he was bloody petrified," said Mr Sutton.

    When he pulled over to retrieve Bono, he saw an unmarked police car with lights flashing pulling up behind him, says the New Zealand Herald.

    "I thought he was going to pull me for driving with something dangerous on the roof. I hadn't done anything wrong that I could think of," said Mr Sutton.

    Instead, the police officer told him he thought Bono was a fluffy toy or a stuffed cat being carried on the car roof as a joke.

    I wonder if it was "sunny"?????
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Glad kitty was OK. It baffles me how the cat hung on. The roof of ones car does not have anything to grip

    When you are scared you will make a handhold.
