I worked for several years at a Jiffylube, we sometimes found strange
things in air cleaners and engine compartments "squirreled" away.
The oddest was a dead cat, well aged. It must have crawled onto the
top of the engine to stay warm at night, and died. The guy said they
hadn't seen the family cat for a few weeks. Some people NEVER
look under the hood.
