A black stray kitten miraculously survived a 240km journey clinging to a car’s drive shaft and found a forever home in Udon Thani. Railway officer Wipachet Soikliao and his colleagues heard meowing during a round trip to Khon Kaen but couldn’t locate the source. Upon returning, Wipachet’s dogs barked under the car, prompting a rescue team to discover the exhausted, four-month-old kitten. Wipachet adopted her immediately, naming her Black, and now cares for her alongside his many other pets. He believes animals that find him bring luck—and even plans to play the lottery using his car’s registration number.

i find it hard to believe a cat was holding onto a spinning drive shaft.
