Washing a car is rarely as surprising as what transpired today.

After washing the body and chassis, it was the engine compartments turn. Tucked away in a nice space were 5 black and white kittens. They must have been born in the night.

As they were shivering, they were put in a box to warm up in the sun, while the washing finished.

I quickly dashed home and near where I had parked overnight was a female and male cat fighting. She dashed off under a car (a lover of cars I guess) and I put the kittens near her and yes – the right mother – perhaps the tomcat got the blame for the missing kittens as she took one and rushed off with it.

I followed her with the box and put it near her - I hope it has a good ending.
