Cat stuck inside Wellington Uber's engine bay for several trips

A cat named Norton became trapped inside the engine bay of an Uber vehicle during multiple trips around Wellington, New Zealand. The cat's owner, Renee Wadsworth, discovered Norton was missing after noticing his tracking collar indicated he had traveled from Hataitai to Johnsonville. After searching extensively, Wadsworth located the cat under the hood of the Uber car and contacted the driver, who helped open the bonnet. A local mechanic then carefully extracted Norton through the front tire, describing the process as challenging but ultimately successful. Norton was reported to be unharmed shortly after the incident.
