Kiwi Kitties in the Fast Lane

New Zealand is my new favourite source for News of the Weird:

Lying spreadeagled on the roof of a moving car with a traffic officer in hot pursuit can leave a cat feeling a little grumpy.

The ordeal of Bono, a 7kg grey-coloured persian, came to the attention of Constable Tim Shields, who saw the cat clinging to the hatchback of a Toyota Celica travelling through Tauranga's streets.

Owner John Sutton thought the cat had been safely shooed off the car before he set out for work.

But after covering three blocks and travelling at 50km/h along the city's busy Cameron Rd on Tuesday, he had to slow for a car in front.

It was then that he saw a fluffy creature slide down the windscreen and grip the wiper blades.

There's more. Go read it.

    Poor, petrified kitty!! But at the same time, what a hoot!!
    Glad the kitty was okay — it has eight lives left, anyway!

    Imagine picking the bugs out of its fur.
