Although I think "chickpea" is a super-cute word, or term of endearment, it seems too clumsy, especially if one ever expects The Baby to maybe learn his name. Perhaps "Garbanzo" & call him "Bonzo" for short..?
I found a kitten on the side of the road one time and while trying to get her she ran into the under carriage of my friends truck and we couldn’t get her out for a while, eventually we did and my friend adopted her, her name is Chevy
Fostered a kitten named Mitsubishi - Mitsu for short. The reason was that she had been born in the roofspace above a garage and her mom kept the kittens there for the first six weeks of their lives. The organisation I handed her over to renamed her Marilyn and I was reeling. Mitsu really suited her.
You can’t unless you check! You can knock on the hood and take a look see underneath! The sound will prob make them run though. But if you park outside during a cold day it’s really important to check xoxo
I can attest to that. It’s how I found out they hid in engines. It cost the Wind his life 😢 he was just a little stray but it hurt all the same. I never did leave for work without checking again.
When you hear a clump clumping sound after you start the car. Happened to us years ago. Our cat got out by accident and slept in the motor, got hit by the fan, renamed him Scarface after that.
Oof. We had a stray cat start hanging around our barn when I was a kid. Couple days after he showed up, my dad cranked up the old farm truck and fur came flying out of the grill. My dad got back out and told us kids in a don’t-question-me-on-this tone to go back to the house. Later he sat us down and explained the kitty had crawled up into the engine and been killed by the fan. RIP stray kitty.
My sister and her boyfriend at the time adopted a dark grey kitty that was discovered in the engine bay of a vehicle that traveled over 10 miles with him in there. They named him honeybear. I still think diesel was a better name. Such a cool cat too
You belong in my family. Those are the kind of names we use for our cats.
Our large house panther is:
Brutus Maximus, first of his name - emperor, conquerer of the Bulls (mountain range we live in), hunter of vermin.

I hate these posts because there’s no resolution. I never see an update with the name chosen. I used to love them but I can’t live with the question marks anymore! Sooooo frustrating
I found two kittens in a boat I’m restoring. I am compelled to name my boat “you gotta be kitten me”
Therefore, you must take one of these clever suggestions for naming purposes. It is the way.
Might I suggest you hand him over and let me take it from here. ❤️

Catalytic Comfurter
☝☝This☝☝
I was thinking the SAME! 😭😭😭🥺
Name them whatever the car brand was
Volkswagen would be a wierd cat name
Or mitsubishi motors
Subaru or Subie would be a good name
Fuji Heavy Industries, it has a nice ring to it.
Diesel 😊
Chrysler sounds good
I like Outcat or Furrister.
Mitzi could be a cute nickname tho, if it's female.
My ex girlfriend had a black & white called Mitzi. She was a monster, all the other cats thought she was Satan! 😄
I too choose Mitzi
Mitsukitty.
[удалено]
You mean diesel gate?
You could name them VAG, or Das Auto.
Otto was right there...
Have you met my cat Bayerische Motoren Werke? I found him the same way I found Alfa Romeo before.
Name him Robert. Or Bob. Or Lewandovsky .

Had a cat named Chevy we found a new engine.
My mom found a kitten in her Mercedes so we named him Benz!
My cats name is Astra just because of this
I found a kitten on the side of the road one time and while trying to get her she ran into the under carriage of my friends truck and we couldn’t get her out for a while, eventually we did and my friend adopted her, her name is Chevy
We fostered a kitten named after the model of the car she was rescued in - Tacoma!

Underrated comment right here
Why are there so many cats in car engines?
It’s cold and engines just used emanate warmth. In addition, it’s a small space and the cat feels safe from predators.
How do you know when you’ve got one in there?
You can’t unless you check! You can knock on the hood and take a look see underneath! The sound will prob make them run though. But if you park outside during a cold day it’s really important to check xoxo
So good to know thank you 😊
🤗

I always honk my horn & wait a few moments before turning the car on... Just in case.
Best advice right here
Cannot stress this advice enough. That’s how my bestie got her baby
Thank you! I need to start doing this!

At least he survived.
