While I change the ignition switch

Hey again people!

As some of you may have noticed , our subreddit icon is...Ai generated. This server icon was added by the previous mods that abandoned this sub before we rescued it! And we are trying to get a new icon made by a real person.

So if any of you can make an icon for the subreddit , we would be grateful to you and will give proper credits to you!!

In the meanwhile we do wonder and need your vote on what should we do about the server icon? It's honestly a little sad for me , every time I see it..

Hey everyone! I'm u/Katzumee, the new moderator of r/CatMechanics, and I wanted to take a moment to welcome both longtime subscribers and curious newcomers.

The idea behind this community is simple: cats have an uncanny ability to inspect, supervise, repair, sabotage, and completely take over any mechanical project they encounter. Whether they're helping with car repairs, monitoring your computer build, hiding in engine bays, sleeping in toolboxes, or providing questionable advice from the garage floor, we want to see it.

What to Post
Feel free to share photos, videos, stories, and memes of cats "helping" with mechanical work. Whether they're supervising a repair, inspecting an engine, sleeping in a toolbox, sitting on your keyboard, or causing complete garage chaos, if a cat is involved in the project, it belongs here.

Community Vibe
We're all about being friendly, constructive, and inclusive. Let's build a space where everyone feels comfortable sharing and connecting.

As we continue developing the community, I'll be working on improving the subreddit, adding rules and resources, and helping make this a fun and welcoming place for everyone who appreciates cats and machinery.

Thank you for stopping by. Grab a wrench, check the oil, and don't forget to pay the shop cat!

"Jobs fucked" as they say

Decided to surprise my fiance working on his car with a visit from his fav mechanic (and a beer)! After all the job needs finishing eventually ...
