A tabby cat climbed out from beneath a car bonnet after disappearing from its central Watford home for two days.
Firefighters from Watford's Lower High Street station were called to Farraline Road yesterday (Wednesday) after a passer-by reported hearing meowing coming from the car's engine compartment.
A crew attended the scene, at about 7.30am, and alerted the car owner, who promptly opened the bonnet and saw their pet jump out.
This is the third case of a cat found stuck next to a car engine Watford firefighters have dealt with in the last six months. In one previous case, the owner, from Watford, had driven to Rickmansworth and back before discovering their cat stuck in the engine compartment.
