A moggy has survived a stunt worthy of his name after
thundering down the motorway at 70 mph while clinging to the roof of a transit
van.
Kick Buttowski, ironically named after the cartoon stuntman,
clambered his way onto the roof rack of a Ford Transit as It stopped for fuel,
unaware that it was to embark on a 22 mile car ride from hell.
Travelling from Melton to Wigston, Leicestershire, the 18
month old was spotted by a passing motorist who signalled the bizarre event to
the unsuspecting driver.
After being taken to a local vet it was established that,
despite his terrifying ordeal, Kick was miraculously unhurt. The vet then put
out a plea for his owners to come forward which was seen on Facebook by owner Ellise
Pepper, 25.
Now returned to Pepper and 5 year old son Connor Russel,
Pepper says “My son Connor was worried because Kick was his best friend… I was
starting to think the worst but amazingly he hasn’t been hurt. The vet said he
hadn’t been eating while he was there but as soon as we got him home he went
straight to his bowl.” Well, a windsweeping like that is bound to blow away your
appetite for a while.
Incredibly, the crazy kitten seemed not to learn from his
experiences. Pepper added,
“After he’d eaten he went out the back door as if
nothing had happened and jumped on the back of another van!”
The van driver, Helen Stevens, 30, was suitably shocked. “I
was gobsmacked! The cat was clinging for dear life!”
Still, it proves cats land on their feet. Even after being
battered by gale force winds.
