According to WJXT in Jacksonville, Fla., the cat was spotted hanging onto an axle underneath a car as the vehicle traveled up to 70 miles per hour down Interstate 95. Eagle-eyed motorist Amy Jones spotted the kitten stuck under the other vehicle and motioned to its driver to stop.
Once they pulled over, another bystander climbed under the car and found the kitten, whose paws were injured from holding on so tightly, but was in otherwise good shape. The cat, now named Axel due to his ordeal, was quickly taken to a nearby veterinarian's office, where he is making a speedy recovery.
Especially during the cold winter months, cats have been known to climb into the small spaces beneath cars, seeking warmth. Axel's story can remind all drivers to be especially careful to ensure no outside animals have taken shelter underneath their cars before pulling out of the driveway.
