Winter is here, friends and a lot of babies seek warmth and comfort under cars, on tires, in engines, under hoods etc. PLEASE check your car before you start it, that there are NO fur-babies there. A lot of cats will feel threatened by your presence and be frightened to escape! If you start your engine while the cat is present, he/she could be at serious risk of injury or death.
There is a way to prevent this from happening: check your car hood and tyres before starting your engine. This gives the cat time to escape. According to the American Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, when the motor starts, cats can be hurt or killed by the fan belt.
As another precaution check the top of every wheel before starting your car. Outdoor cats may be tucked away up inside as they seek protection from snow, wind, and dropping temperatures.
Take two simple steps before starting your car
When it comes to driving during this cold weather, follow these two simple steps before starting your car's engine:
1) Check your hood.
2) Check your tires.
I don't like the idea of honking your horn or banging on the hood as it will frighten the poor baby!
Please share our picture with your friends, get the message out there. Too many babies out there aren't as lucky as, Mazzie (in the post below.)
Look out for them. You may save a cats life. ♥
