A cat may have used up one of its nine lives this week on the Central Coast. It became trapped in the engine compartment of a moving car.
It happened in Vandenberg Village. The driver got into the car and drove about 100 feet when they suddenly heard meowing.
They stopped, and called 911. Santa Barbara County firefighters found an adult cat which had become caught in the engine compartment by their fur.
