Cats: Live hood ornament 2016-06-07 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, Columbiamagazine.com. Blue seems to prefer his role as hood ornament when the engine is running and there are occupants on the car. If disturbed, his exit is leap to the roof of the car; then when the car slowly starts to move, he jumps off in the opposite direction. He always checks for hood warmth each time the car pulls in and usually rests there until the engine cools off. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
