Grumpy cat survives wild car-top ride

A grumpy house cat was the toast of New Zealand traffic authorities
after it survived a hairy ride through a city clinging to the roof of
a car, with the driver unaware of the drama.

John Sutton of Tauranga, southeast of Auckland, thought he had chased
his seven-kilogram grey Persian, called Bono, from his car before he
set off for work this week, the New Zealand Herald reported.

After travelling three blocks at 50 kilometres an hour along a busy
city street, he had to slow down. Something fluffy slid down the
windscreen and gripped the wiper blades. "It gave me a hell of a
fright," Mr Sutton said. "Then I realised it was Bono and he was
bloody petrified."

Police Constable Tim Shields was on patrol when he saw the car coming
toward him. "The expression on that cat's face was hilarious,"
Constable Shields said. "It was wide-eyed and obviously knew the
consequences if it let go."

The cat was returned home inside the car.

Glad there was no harm done to Mr Bono.

I'd be rather upset too. Can't blame Bono one bit if the guy's got a few
extra claw marks..

Ha - this must be one of them Urban Legends or some sort ...
*No* cat by the name of Bono could ever possibly be desribed as "grumpy"!
What a totally preposterous idea!
And that a cat going by such a nobel name would be silly enough to get on
car roof like that!? Absurd indeed!
The story might have worked - had they just chosen a different name ...

Poor Bono....... but I'm afraid the image is hilarious. Like
one of those old black and white slapstick comedies.

Thanks Jette :-) I wasn't laughing at the time - but later I could see the
humour in it!

Oh, I know - if the cat had taken any harm from it (either cat -
yours or the one in the news-story) then it wouldn't be funny,
just like those old comedies were only funny because you knew
that no one really got hurt.
