A HIGHWAY patrol officer's car engine was literally purring like a cat after a cute kitten was found trapped inside the front bumper of the Ford Turbo.

The Police Highway Patrol Officer was surprised to find the furry friend while conducting a patrol in Sydney’s south west late last week.

About 9.30am on Friday 23 April, an officer from Fairfield Highway patrol was conducting duties in his highway patrol car on Cartwright Avenue, Cartwright, when he was forced to brake for a cat running in front of the car.

After braking, the officer, assuming the cat had run away, continued his patrol attending an RBT site on Elizabeth Drive, Ashcroft about 10am as part of Operation Go Slow.

Whilst setting up to conduct random breath tests the Senior Constable heard ‘meowing’ coming from the front end of the Ford XR6 Turbo.


An examination of the car was conducted and a small grey/black kitten was seen sticking its head out of a drain hole in the front bumper of the car.

The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic, where the vehicle was hoisted and the front bumper removed, revealing the meowing and frightened kitten.

The kitten was removed and police are attempting to locate the owner of the kitten, affectionately referred to by officers as "Cartwright" and police assure us that no animal was harmed during the police operation.
