A motorist in Munich believed to have saved the life of a cat trapped in the engine compartment of his vehicle. When starting his car, the man noticed the animal, which had apparently gotten lost in the engine compartment. The cat was once pulled by the V-belt when he started the car.
The animal got caught in the V-belt with its fur on Tuesday, the fire brigade announced on Wednesday. The emergency services were able to free the cat, which fled after a brief and apparently reluctant examination. According to an initial assessment, she was unharmed. The owner and whereabouts of the animal remained unknown afterwards.
