Anything to use the carpool lane

Greg Kvenbo of Corona had driven his truck about 20 miles on the 91 Freeway when another motorist pulled up alongside, pointing at something, and in Kvenbo's words, "screaming and yelling."

He pulled over, thinking that he hadn't properly secured his ladders.

Instead, he found a stowaway -- his cat Kinky -- atop the ladders. Kinky was also screaming and yelling, having found the role of freeway daredevil not to her liking.

Kvenbo rescued the cat and noted a personality change. "Normally she's very finicky around the house," he said. "She likes being petted, but then she's done with you. This time, she sat on my lap all the way home."
