MEDINA, Ohio (AP) -- A cat has survived a four-hour, 200-mile ride under the hood of a car traveling through Ohio.

WJW-TV reports ( http://bit.ly/vqGcUr ) a man who'd left Xenia (ZEEN'-yuh) in southwest Ohio on a drive to Cleveland Sunday afternoon stopped at a rest area south of his destination when he smelled something. A patrolling state trooper found the motorist with his hood up and a large black and white cat that wasn't his stuck in the engine compartment. The animal had burns on the right side.

The cat was taken to an animal hospital in nearby Lodi (LOH'-dy) where Dr. Linda Randall said he was going to be fine.

Randall is calling him "Eclipse" because that was the model of the car. The SPCA is trying to find the feline's owner.

Wow. I wonder how many lives it used up on the trip?

WOW. Poor little guy. Imagine how scared it must have been. Anyone know how the fuck it got under the hood?

Probably crawled under there. Cats have been known to do that after an engine is shut off because of the warmth. Surprised it did survive that long though.

Honestly, first thing I thought was "a burning pussy." Guess that shows where my mind is at the moment...but damn that is a crazy story, lucky for the cat it survived, that's amazing in itself.
