we used to live near an old, unused car fixing garage place.It had a pit where the mechanics could get under the cars to see what was wrong.
One day our cat went missing, and after about 12 hours we went looking for her. We found her in the bottom of this pit. She had walked down the steps, but couldn't work out how to get back out. She was shivering, and miserable and covered in oil.
We took her staright to the vets, who told us just to clean the oil off with Swarfega.
So we took her home, sat her in a washing up bowl, and smothered her in Swarfega. She was so miserable she didn't even complain, but just sat there, bright green, covered in slime. Its one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Then we had to wash all teh swarfega off, and she didn't even complain about the water, poor miserable little thing.
We hairdryered her dry, so she went all fluffy, but the next day she was still shaking.
We took her back to the vets, who said tehre was nothing wring with her, she was just melodramatic and highly strung!

A old mate of mine used to work in a car auction house in Leighton BuzzardA cat crawled under the bonnet of an old transit that had been left open by people inspecting the cars going through the sales and proceeded to fall asleep on the still warm engine. Someone else came along, turned the motor on without looking and the poor cat got minced by the fan. Cue copious vomiting from onlookers and my mate.
