A cat survived a five-mile round trip under the bonnet of a Vauxhall Astra on the school run after she escaped from her home. Four-year-old pet Rose was discovered when David King, 65, popped his bonnet to do an oil check after completing his journey having dropped his grandson at school.
Mr King’s wife Tina King, 67, said: “He came running in shouting for me to come have a look. I thought whatever’s wrong?
“What I didn’t expect to see was two eyes staring back at him from a ball of fluff. We weren’t even sure it was alive.
