This little Kitten Travels in Pilot’s Car for more than 300 Miles and immediately stole the hearts of everyone.
A little kitty survived a 300-mile long adventure hiding inside a Navy helicopter pilot’s car.
Meet Tigger the cat!
The kitten traveled in Lieutenant Nick Grimmer’s car from Birmingham Airport to the Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose. He was trapped inside the rear bumper of the car during the whole trip.
When Nick heard a very quiet meow, he immediately went to investigate.
“I looked under the bonnet , in the boot and climbed all over and under it and still couldn’t find what was making the strange noise,” Nick told Royal Navy.
“I contact some of our air engineers who came and helped me to begin taking apart my joy and pride (a BMW). When we took off the rear bumper we were welcomed by a small cute tiger-triped kitten.”
Nick placed the cute kitty in the most comfortable place he could find – his flying helmet, so the kitten could take a nap while he took the small kitty friend with him to work.
“We are more than happy to adopt ‘Tigger’ as a mascot; after all it’s a tradition for Royal Naval units to have a ships cat!” Commander Brendan Spoors said.
Before they could regularly adopt Tigger, they wanted to check if he belongs to someone.
“I instructed my team to launch ‘Operation Tiger Kitten’. With the help of social media they are hoping to be ‘mission complete’ by the end of this week.”
Little Tigger!
