The cat who was found in a SUV's engine area is recovering just fine. According to the Daily News, the cat, now named Art, is at a Manhattan animal shelter. Animal Care and Control's David Ziegler said that Art had "fleas and badly-matted fur," adding, "He seems pretty calm, like he's not in any pain. But he's mean. He has been growling." The AC&C is holding him for another day to see if an owner turns up; if not, "they will try to place the cat in a home via a rescue program."





Mean, flea ridden, and dirty. He's obviously from the subway.
Awww!! I saw him on the news; glad he's ok:)
Aww, glad he's going to make a comeback. I love the name Art.
Can we name him Otto?
if i got caught in an engine and then had a photo snapped of me...I would be mean too.
"was found in a SUV's engine block"
While I wasn't there, I can absolutely guarantee that there's no way the cat in the engine block, which would be simply impossible unless the engine was disassembled at the time.
Hiding somewhere under the hood, sure, it happens all the time. In the engine block, not a chance.
Yeah, you would think people with a college education would understand the difference between 'in' and 'on'.
Would you believe it was a big block engine? Really, really big block.
Replace 'block' with 'bay' and it's all good.
