JayPea says: Yoda probably crawled up into a vehicle motor and fell out by the local gas station. When I saw him, I was coming up to the stoplights and I saw a piece of black something blow out of the gas station parking lot onto the highway under a pickup. I realized it wasn't a scrap of cloth or a bag but a kitten. The pickup bowled him over and he rolled between the tires and ran the rest of the way across the road and into the grass. I pulled over and ran to see if he had been hurt. He was a hissing, snarling little ball of claws, so I got a drawstring bag out of my car and went back to where he was desperately trying to hide in the grass. His little face was pushed into the ground and he was panting and shivering. I held the bag open in front of him and reached out and stroked his fur. He bolted into the bag and I pulled the drawstring shut and carried him to my car. He was so tiny - I figured 7-8 weeks - and so scared. I opened the bag on my lap and petted him through it all the way home. He was obviously a barn cat and not used to people as he was very wild and hissy, but it didn't take long and he became tame and loving, although he was a little stinker when he wanted to be! He was healthy and the pickup must not have hit him because he was uninjured. I had him for a couple of weeks and then he went to live with my daughter and her 16-year-old cat, Friskey. Yoda loves to play with Friskey, but Friskey doesn't like to play with Yoda so much yet! He is coming around, though!

Bless your kind heart, Jay Pea. Amazing what a cat will do to find a home! Yoda was meant to be. And your backstory was terrific. The life force in these kitties and their luck is a constant source of wonder.

I changed a photo as my daughter just sent me a new one. She renamed the kitten Guiness and in this picture, he is trying to get Friskey to play with him. They both seem to be taking it okay.

Love Yoda and his story... Like Yoda, I have a black and white guy I call "Simba" that I found in the middle of a busy street 10 years ago. He's still with me now... I'll tell Simba all about Yoda..he'll love it, too!

Wow! What a lucky boy. The Brits consider black cats to be lucky, and indeed Yoda (Guiness) is lucky to have been found by you.

Sorry to learn the sad news about Friskey and Needles Tom. I know you will keep your heart open to new felines who need your love, but I must say both are/were magnificent cats who lived long happy lives under your care.

Thank you all for your fine comments. But, my daughter says Guinness is not necessarily sweet. His favorite activities now at 7-8 months old are playing in water and rolling in the litter box. He waits for Friskey to drink and then he jumps on him and gets both of them wet and water all over the floor. She says, "Good thing he is so cute because he really is a little a** sometimes." She loves him very well though. He is one spoiled little guy. Even Friskey likes having him around, even if Guinness does pester him!
