I recently tried to be nice and fill my grandmas car’s tank. She thought her fuel gauge was broken because her trip odometer was at a reading where she usually puts in gas. She tried like 4 times to fill the tank which caused it to overflow into the vapor recovery. If I had mentioned it, she wouldn’t have overfilled. If she had told me, I could have let her know and saved her the diagnostics charge and gotten her cat back sooner.
You can't just mention a cat and not share a picture
Having reread it a few times I think it's a typo for car. Although such a misadventure could easily cause a person to be late returning to the vet to pick up their cat, having gone to get gas while a procedure was in progress.
However, here's the first "Maru and boxes" video, because you deserve a little nostalgic joy. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xdhLQCYQ-nQ
Sadly, Maru died last September but he had a long and happy life with lots of love.
