Kitten rides 100 miles perched on bumper

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (NBC) -- Almost all cars make funny noises from time to time, but one Plattsburgh, New York woman made a shocking discovery after checking out a strange noise coming from her bumper.

After driving nearly 100 miles after leaving her home before returning back to Plattsburgh, Stacey Pulsifer discovered a 6 week old kitten lodged under her front bumper.

Pulsifer got the kitten out and adopted it naming it "pumpkin."

Pumpkin suffered burns and may need to have one leg amputated, but otherwise is in good health.
