ok...
then it's not the cat...

one, get it on some jack stands and crawl under it.
make sure the idiots at the "Change" place tightened the screw-
it sounds stupid, but it happened to my wife about 7 years ago...

she took it to a different place 3 years later, and they Completely FORGOT to put it back in!
luckily, she stopped at her dads less than a mile away...
(but it was pouring down his driveway! ...he was more pissed than me!)

she returned and got it back on, and another fill of oil...

if it's not that, blame the cat!
