More Kitten Drama

Okay, so I was already running a few minutes late for work this morning. I walked out the door, glanced to my right, and there it was. Kitten #2... back from the dead. We looked at each other, then the little sucker turned and ran around the corner of the house. I put my purse down and tiptoed around after it. It looked at me. I tried to look casual. After about a minute, it forgot I was there and started to creep around. That's when I made my move. I lunged at it and...
it ran in the opposite direction, heading directly under my car.

Crap!

I retrieved my purse and went to the car. I peered underneath. Nothing. I opened the hood and looked in the engine. Didn't see it. I got a stick and poked the bunch of weeds beside the driveway. No kitties there. I got back on the ground and looked underneath again. Still didn't see it. I went and got the hose, then sprayed the entire underside of the car. Zilch. During this whole ordeal, Mama Kitty is just sitting beside the back door of the house, watching. I figured the kitten must have snuck off when I wasn't paying attention and was by that time hiding under a bush somewhere laughing at me. I popped the hood one more time and jingled my car keys a bunch, hoping to spook it from its hiding place. I closed the hood and got in the car. I started the engine and waited a minute. Then I s.l.o.w.l.y backed out the driveway. All the way to work I kept looking in my rear view mirrors for kittens to fall out. But none did.

Mama Kitty was waiting right in the same spot when I got home from work but no sign of Mystery Kitten. Hopefully it will be back tomorrow morning. Hopefully it will not run for my car again. I don't know how much more of that I can take.
