One day, while taking my son to pre-school, I heard the terrified cry of a kitten in trouble. I couldn't figure out where it was coming from, but was informed by one of the ladies at the pre-school, that there was a kitten stuck in the undercarriage of her Yukon. Poor Milo had gone for a five mile ride from her house, to 7-11 and then to her work. She couldn't figure out how to get him out from under her car.
That afternoon, they told me that they had rescued him from under the car, only to have him be terrified and run into the engine compartment of another car parked nearby. He was rescued again and when I came to pick up my son, we had a new kitten.
After getting him home, I found that he was so traumatized, that he didn't want anything to do with people. He would hiss and spit at you and was not the type of kitten to curl up in your lap and take a nap.
Now it is three years later and Milo is a happy member of our family of four, plus two other cats. Milo is best known for sitting in the front yard like a majestic lion protecting the neighborhood. He is still not a people cat, but will accept a scratch on the head and knows he has it made! He especially loves to talk to you when his food dish is empty. He recently has trained his owners how to open the front door for him, so he doesn't have to walk to the back of the house to the cat door. He has grown into a huge 14 pound tiger, a completely solid cat, not fat, just huge! We love our Milo!
