[Special to the Perspective] — I had to rent a car over the weekend. I chose the $9.99 special, a Hyundai Sonata. It was not awful; I would get it again for just the Sirius Radio.

This was my first experience with Korean cars and I didn’t find the cultural cross over difficult at all — until I encountered the Cat Folder button.

Why would I fold a Cat?

Better yet, in what shape would my car fold a Cat? Should it be a neat little bundle, an origami form?

Is it a tri fold? Do we leave the head and legs out?

Having folded a Cat, in my car, what am I to do with it? (well aware of Korean cuisine I pondered many possibilities).

Finally, how does the Cat feel about all this? Not too happy, I expect.

Fortunately, I’m very allergic and can’t have a cat so somewhere in the Northeast United States there is a lucky, unfolded Cat, that I don’t own and therefore will never attempt to fold.
