Our family cat crawled into the engine compartment of my father’s car on a cold day, when he started it the fan chopped the cat’s head off. At least it was quick. RIP Sugarfoot.
When I was a kid our cat was resting with the power steering belt against its spine. Mom started the car and there was all sorts of thumping and fur flying out from under the hood. The cat managed to jump the belt off and lose all of the fur along its spine yet had no injuries.
Poor pussycat.
My cat never goes out if the temp is under 50. Not even to her nice little yard.
