We checked it out and there was an itty bitty (like freshly weaned) black kitten hiding behind the front wheel. Another coworker tried to grab it and kitten went up into the engine compartment. Half an hour later and after removing parts of the air filter housing, coworker was able to reach in far enough and grab the kitten. After some discussion it was decided the CDS meant the kitten for me, so kitten went into a box and home with me.
Meet Princess Donut or just Donut for short
The name comes from the book series Dungeon Crawler Carl I read a few months ago. I'd commented that the next nameless girl cat I got would be named Princess Donut. So here we are.
I set her up in an unused bedroom. I don't want to give her full run of the house until I know she uses the litterbox and can go up the steps to get to said litterbox. She was completely uninterested in the human and needed to examine and comment on everything in the room. I left her to relax and destress and I went back downstair to also destress and relax. Later I went back up, petted her for a few minutes then went next door to the paint room. After a while I went back downstairs, sat in my recliner and knocked her off the chair arm. She'd crawled under the bedroom door, went down the steps, and figured out my recliner is the most comfortable seat in the house (this kitten is brilliant). I petted her, she did the squirelly dance of kittens who want to play more than they want cuddles, yet are being forced into cuddles. Eventually I realized that had turned into chasing my hand for more petting. So I pet her, she purred and did the rub rub nudge nudge. I ended up sleeping half the night in the chair with her on my chest.
She's also got a weird meow. I swear she can throw her voice. I can see her under the edge of the bed, yet the meow is coming from the doorway behind me.
I've seen her drinking water, and her breath smelled of catfood when she was on my chest, so she's eating and drinking. This morning the sand in the literbox looked to be moved around so I'm hoping that also got used.
She's mostly black with a white spot on her chest (a diamond necklace) and just the tips of the toes on here rear feet (glass slippers). A princess must be properly attired.
