Stray kitty cat hiding behind dashboard

Well, that's a catastrophe... lol. There isn't much room up in there other than the area behind the knee bolster. I would say to put out some bait food in a box and wait. I wouldn't try to force her out as there is a lot of wiring in there and she would likely try to escape and get really stuck. If she hasn't come out in a day, then I would probably get an inspection camera and go up from the passenger side and see if she is stuck.

Thanks so much for responding!!!

As embarrassing as this situation is, I went back into the car tonight with a flashlight and I think I heard the cat moving around a little. She appears to be in the driver's side on the left-hand side, above the wheel well. That seems to be the only place she could squeeze into. Your idea of using a small camera is excellent, of course. I'll let you know if the cat comes out tonight, eats the food we put in the trap. If not tomorrow, I'll try the camera trick.

Thanks again,

Jon

There are times I wish I could get a cat near our vehicles; I get sick of repairing wiring chewed by rodents. You can get those cameras cheap these days. I would bet she comes out though, cats like to roam. If you have a couple of cell phones with Facebook on them or iPhones, you could use the video call in messenger or facetime to set put a camera up in the area and look.

Catastrophe resolved!!!

I used a protective glove and nudged her out.

Thanks for your advice!!!

Great job.
