Cats and cars don't mix

There's one lucky cat in Massachusetts.

According to an Associated Press story, Edgar, a 4-year-old long-haired female feline, disappeared for a few days last week and returned home with part of her face dangling from her head.

Thirty-five stitches later and the kitty is doing fine.
Remarkably, Edgar suffered no major blood lost nor sustained any permanent nerve damage from her accident. She just needed to have her facial skin stitched back on during an hour surgery, according to veterinary surgeon Michael Pavletic.
Veterinarians believe Edgar was injured by a car's fan belt when she tried to stay warm under the hood.

The obvious joke is "one life down, eight to go."
