Yes, I too tried silly kitties and realized a 5 mpg improvement in gas
mileage. I had to change the oil filter much more often though.

The age and type of cat seem to make a small difference in results.

        Large Cats:  Almost impossible to fit into the oil fill orifice.
                     Sustained multiple scratches and other injuries with this
                     procedure.

        Small Kittens: Much easier, just put on gloves and pop them right
                       in there.

        Slick-50: Hard to find in stores anymore. Not good due to clogging
                  of small oil ducts. Also more expensive than silly kitties.

I agree, Awful Al, you are.  Who could possibly do this?  Remember 
the smiley faces next time.  Better yet, don't tell us in net.pets.
Must we hear dead cat jokes?  Cross post to net.jokes, perhaps.
