My car has been on jack stands in my Dad's garage for the last 7 years.
(hibernating) I came home to find two cats living comfortably under my car,
a cat carrier on my hood, and I suspect they where using the inside of my
car (my passenger side window was broken). Luckily, they did not touch the
interior, and after I mentioned to his wife that my car would look great
upholstered in calico, the cats moved inside my dad's house.

Now his wife tells me she will make a planter for the yard out of my car.

THE MORAL: Some people are attached to their cats much like we are to our
roadsters, so if we keep the two apart, we have no problems!
