My husband came home from work and while I was making dinner, he decided to mow the lawn. We have one of those tractor mowers with the deck and bagger on it. He started the engine and drove up to the fence to get in the yard, and something made him look down. Here was a little orange tabby kitten that apparently was sleeping inside the deck (around the belts and blades)! He saw his little head poke out so he immediately shut it off and pulled him out. MAN, he was a little spit fire at first, but I think he was just scared. Once he realized his head was still attached he calmed down and started purring.
It's one of the barn cats' kittens..I've seen him and his sister sleeping under my husbands truck a few times. We normally check the vehicles before starting the engines, but neither of us thought to check the mower before starting it.
He's a sweetie though. I'm guessing he's between 8-10 weeks. I try to find homes for as many of the barn kittens as I can, and he is a definite lovebug, but he's still a little too young to leave his mommy. So, if anyone is interested in a sweetie tabby boy, let me know!
