A quick knock on the hood can save a life. 🔊🐾
Even if your cat stays inside, the cats in your neighborhood may not. When temperatures drop, they look for the warmest spot they can find, and a car that has been running is exactly that. They climb up into the wheel well or engine bay to get out of the cold, and they are usually well hidden by the time you head back out.
A few seconds is all it takes:
🔊 Knock on the hood or honk before starting the engine.
🐾 Look under and around the car before pulling out.
🌡 Remember that a recently driven car stays warm for hours, so this matters in the evening too.
It is a small habit, and it costs you nothing. For a cat sheltering from the cold, it makes all the difference. 💙
