Joyce Coomer: Cats diagnose vehicle malfunctions Binky cat was averse to approaching the 'new' Explorer. Turns out, there was trouble, which, when fixed, catitude spun 180 degrees. Birds perform similar auto maintenance function. To appreciated this incontrovertible story in its entirety, click headline Comments re photo 73205 A trial tribulation an ambitious vexing cat Blue By Joyce Coomer Be glad the cat is sitting on your vehicle. If Blue is as knowledgeable of vehicles as my cats appear to be, the vehicle is in good running condition. Several years ago we had a 1996 Explorer. The cats would meet me at the gate, and trot down the driveway alongside the Explorer, many times too close to the tires for my comfort. They slept on the vehicle and in general seemed to think it was wonderful. Then we traded for a 2003 Explorer. Binky Cat came dashing out of the woods to meet me when I arrived home, came to a screeching halt about three feet from the "new" Explorer then dashed back into the woods. (That should have told me something.) None of the cats sat on the vehicle and they would detour around it instead of walking underneath it when traveling across the yard. The transmission was bad and we had that repaired. The cats would then sit on the 2003 Explorer, but only against the windshield on the driver's side. A year or two later, I noticed the cats once again avoiding the Explorer. A constant pecking had us consult with mechanics and we found that the timing belts were broken and due to the design of the timing belts and the motor, we had to replace the motor. Now that those two major things are fixed, while the cats seldom get on the Explorer to sit, they will sit underneath the front bumper to get out of the rain. Apparently birds are also sensitive to the mechanical soundness of a vehicle. I have never had a vehicle that birds pooped on so much in my entire life. When everything is in good working order, they don't . . . so when bird poop is starting to compete with the paint on the Explorer, I know to have a mechanic thoroughly inspect my vehicle! - Joyce M.
