Oh hell no. It's dark in there. For all I know it's a skunk.

At least a cat didn't crawl up on the engine to get warm. Happened to a family friend. Poor kitty.

I have no idea what got into my dark detached garage with minimal lighting. Whatever it is was large enough to move a cardboard box.

And RIP that poor kitty.

Could've been a rat.

That happened to my mother's first cat. She's still traumatized by it and gets teary remembering the poor little bugger.

Happened to my uncle too. He said it was pretty gross.

Sure. During the day. I prefer to see what I'm shooting.

It's awful. I always worried about it when I dailied my truck when it was cold.

Oh be careful! We had a rabid dying skunk fall down right in front of our garage doors a while back.

My landlady was stuck in her car in the drive and I was stuck inside. We had to call animal control to come get it and put it to sleep—it was all foaming and kind of kept trying to get up. Very scary.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX???

Cajun Ginger > car54

That is EXACTLY what I'm afraid of!

That's why I screamed.

That's why I bolted from the truck.

That's why I slammed the truck door.

That's why I scurried from the garage and shut it quickly.

That is exactly where my imagination instantly went!

Eta: so exactly how did you crawl in my head? Because rabid skunk is pretty much the most terrifying thing I can imagine.

That's gotta wait for daylight.

When I will be at work.

Not my truck. Unfortunately is in my garage next to my triumph.

I was home working the day it happened—totally unaware—and my landlord called me—our house is a duplex—and it's like 2 small houses side by side with 2 single attached garages between them—and we both go in and out through the garage all the time.

She called me from her cell and she was in her car at the end of the drive, and she was telling me not to open the door or the garage, and to call animal control —but don't go out or open the doors.

So I called the police station (small town) the non-emergency number and they told me who to call—and they came out with one of those big sticks with a loop—and caught his neck then one of them had a needle and gave him a shot to put him to sleep and they took him off in their truck—we were askeerd he would bite but we were also askeered he would spray our houses!

Stay safe and not stinky!!!

When I was a kid my mom had this 1973 Cutlass Supreme that was a cat magnet. Like, seriously, all the neighborhood strays seemed drawn to it like they were entranced by a siren song. I swear there was one period where it felt like that car claimed a cat every single week. It was awful. I've never seen that happen with any other car.
