As the cold returns, be sure to check to make sure there are no cats hiding under your hood or on your wheels before hitting the road.
This is a very common phenomenon in winter: chats many take refuge under cars, in order to find a little warmth when the temperatures drop outside. If some are content to sleep on the ground, others on the other hand particularly like to hide in narrower recesses, and in particular on the wheels, even in the engine for the more flexible. Completely normal behavior which is in no way dangerous for the car, unlike rodents, which damage your engine cables and hoses. However, it can have serious consequences for cats, which can sometimes get stuck when you hit the road, causing injury or death.
Verification is required
This phenomenon concerns more particularly cars parking outside, more easily accessible for our four-legged friends. Before starting your vehicle, take a look under your hood to verify that no cat has taken up residence there. Also check the wheel arches, prime nooks and crannies for felines. You can then give small taps on the body, in order to scare it away. a horn blast is also effective, but not necessarily recommended if you are hitting the road at 6 a.m.
Always allow a little time to elapse before starting, in order to allow any possible cat to escape safely. If you have a cat, it is best to keep it in your home in winter, which will also allow it to be protected from the cold and bad weather.
