The tale of Casey Crazy-Cat
Once upon a time, we had a cat named Casey. He was larger than most small(ish) dogs, loved to drink water straight out of a tap, adored my oldest son and had a thing for sitting in cars. He also had horrible allergies and had to wear a cone on his head at various times, for various reasons. It was a BIG, dog-sized cone because he was soooo big.
Anyway, back to his car-sitting habits. One time he went to the airport with a van full of relatives visiting for Christmas. Other times he ran errands with me because he'd hopped into an open car window and sat in the back seat, sunning himself. By the time we noticed he was there, we were always too far from home to turn around.

THE HINDLEGS OF CASEY. He'd ridden on the TOP OF MY CAR all the way from the house. With his hood on!!!!!!!! When I braked to turn, he slid almost entirely off the back of my car. (The screeching noise? All of his claws fully extended, trying to hang on to the roof.) Only the back windshield wiper saved him from getting flung into the ditch.
No wonder that guy in the car ahead of me was staring. o.O I never laughed/cried so hard in my life. I was so relieved he hadn't been killed/amazed he made it that far...wearing a hood!
Apparently, others have had the same experience:
Only in this video, they weren't going 35 mph. Or wearing a gigantic hood over their heads.
So...true or false?? Vote in the comments!!

My guess: fact.
Either way, this is funny. One summer I worked on a construction project and this car pulled up to the intersection at a stoplight. Her purse sat on top of the car. I stepped into the street and knocked on the window. She looked at me like she didn't want to roll it down, but she did and I pointed to the purse. Whoops.
Oh man, this is so funny. Poor kitty. I have a huge cat, too, but he's scared of everything, including cars, thank goodness.
Both of your stories are so well told that they seem true. I am going to go with this one being false, just because I really don't want your poor kitty to have ridden on top of the car with the cone of shame on the whole time!
Fun hop. Thanks for putting this on!
Ummm . . . this is so believable, and it makes it tough for me to choose . . . I am going to say that the cow chip one is fact and this one is fiction.
cat ride on the roof or cow pattie in the face, hmmmm.
sorry, i believe it was the cow pattie...
fun stories!
Okay, this has to be true because it is SO funny. I think this one is fact and the first one is fiction. Great story!
Don’t ask me why, because this is almost more believable, (how you wrote it at least), but I’m going to say Fiction.
And I don’t know if you want to do anything about it, but I tried your link to Monday’s post several times, and it didn’t work. =/ So yeah, just thought I’d let you know. =)
I still cant get over the cow chip story....I'm thinking that one is true and this one is false....
Poor cat. This is a believable story. I don't have a cat, but I have heard similar real stories . My commute to my job as an assistant district attorney was forty five minutes. Every time I came to a stop I thought I heard someone or something crying or whimpering . The second day that I heard it I became really worried. One of my coworkers headed out to take a look in and under my car and to my horror found three live kittens. They were lodged somewhere above the tire but inside the shell of the car. I thought they were going to be maimed and mangled, but they were perfectly fine-just a little dehydrated. I am still going to guess fiction for this one
Oh my gosh, this is so funny, I hope it's true! True, true! I'm guessing true!
Ooh. so hard. I'm guessing this one is true and the cow chip is false.
Hmm, I think this one is true and the first one is fiction.
The first story was EW and this one had me laughing out loud. Since funny is always better then EW. I am going to say Casey the Cat is FACT.
Gosh this is hard :) But I used up my true vote already so I have to guess false.
I'm voting false and buffalo chip true. Both are great stories. Nice job. And thanks for organizing the bloghop!
