 - after she had driven to her doctor's office in Absecon, a pharmacy in Pleasantville, picked up her husband at the bus terminal and driven him to work - she heard the cries of her cat Bobblehead from under the hood of her car.

Bobblehead had lodged himself deep in the engine compartment near the wheel well.

"We couldn't believe it', she explained. "I thought, My God, he must be tangled up in the motor."

Gendek and her husband, Marty, raced over to the nearby Pleasantville firehouse off Washington Avenue. Twenty minutes and a few removed car parts later, the eight-month-old tabby was pulled from under the hood by Pleasantville firemen Tom Tripician of Pleasantville, Tom Williams of Egg Harbor Township and Captain Scott Trythall of Mays Landing.

The firemen didn't want to make a fuss of the rescue before rushing off to attend to a motor vehicle accident.

Bobblehead was a bit shaken but uninjured, and was true to his name as he was taken home on the front seat of the car.
