Cat-astrophe!!!

Misty and Dotz, our two new kittens as you know. If you don't know, go to my older posts and look at the sweet pictures I have of them. Anyway, my Dad and I were going to the store yesterday, he had a air conditioner temperature tool in the car and when we got in it was 120 degrees! The car was SO hot! We got talking about how dangerous it was. Anyway, my Dad was in his truck cleaning it out and can you guess? Misty our grey little kitten hopped in the truck without anybody knowing. She was in there for a couple hours. It takes 2 to 4 hours for a small child to die in a hot car. We were surprised that she did not. My Dad opened up his truck, heard a weak Mew, and found her under the seat. So Dad brought her in and she was completely drenched in sweat panting and she looked half dead. All of us girls almost had a conniption. :) She drank A LOT of water, and she gave some pitiful little mews. It was almost the saddest thing I have ever seen. I am happy to report that she is doing better but she is not her normal self. Dotz (her brother) was so happy that she was back when we put her outside. They are buddies and almost NEVER leave each other's side. He started licking her and giving her love, it was so sweet. Poor kitty!

That's the latest at our house!
Has anything scary ever happened to your pet?
