As the days start getting shorter and cooler, your outside
cat, as well as other cats in the neighborhood, may be looking for warm places
to spend the night. A common place for cats to go for warmth is under the hood
of cars, because engines retain their warmth long after the car has been
driven. If a car is started under these circumstances, great injury, or even
death, can occur for the cat. Protect your outside cat, and your neighbors’
cats, by knocking on the hood every morning before you start your car.
