It's not easy being a cat or a dog. Sometimes you need to get to town for something and there's no willing transport. So you have to hitch a ride:
A grumpy house cat was the toast of New Zealand traffic authorities after it survived a hairy ride through a city clinging to the roof of a car, with the driver unaware of the drama.John Sutton of Tauranga, southeast of Auckland, thought he had chased his seven-kilogram grey Persian, called Bono, from his car before he set off for work this week, the New Zealand Herald reported.
After travelling three blocks at 50 kilometres an hour along a busy city street, he had to slow down.
Something fluffy slid down the windscreen and gripped the wiper blades.
"It gave me a hell of a fright," Mr Sutton said.
"Then I realised it was Bono and he was bloody petrified."
