Listen to that baby purr...

No I'm not referring to the latest Lexus but to a rather more elderly Nissan Murano.

The car's owner, Wilfred Rodriguez, was alerted by a rattling noise from the engine and stopped the car to give it a check - and possibly a kick. Sticking out of the bonnet were a tail and a paw. That might explain the rattling sound then.

A worried Rodriguez dialled 911 to arrange for police officers to come and extricate the intruder. New York's finest braced themselves in anticipation of a gruesome, bloodied and presumably lifeless body lying underneath the engine. Or so you might think.

Instead, Tabby was very much alive - even after a couple of miles in the engine - and yes, kicking. The greasy, grumpy feline inflicted several wounds to the officers sent to free him and was eventually extricated from underneath the car battery and taken to the Centre for Animal Care where its owner can claim him.

Anyone missing a feisty cat with no sense of personal space?
