I decided to charge my almost new Nissan EV. The instant I opened the trunk to get the cable out, I realized the source of that horrid smell I couldn’t help but notice the last 3 or 4 days. There, right next to the charger were the remains of a big black cat.

Stupid cat likely climbed in whilst I had the windows down to cool the interior. I hate when any animal dies. But I also hated dealing with what was left. It almost fell apart when I picked it up. I spent portions of the next hour cleaning it and trying to deal with the smell.

I did hate that it died. And, as I said, I really wished it didn’t climb into the car. I am going to need to really be more careful. Maybe we need screens on car windows. It would be good for keeping flies and skeeters out too. When I leave the windows down, it does seem an instant invite to any little pest with wings.
