We used to.On the way out to your car to go somewhere, you bang on the hood a few times, right?
Once we didn't, and Hubby drove over our cat's head and broke his lower jaw latterly. The cat had to get his jaw wired (and that's another long story that I won't go into now) but he survived.
Another time, I was driving a car pool of kids to school. A kitty crossed the street in front of me, so I stopped. I saw him at one side but didn't see him come out the other side. I suspected he climbed up into my engine compartment. I got out of the car, raised the hood, and looked. I couldn't see him but I heard something. After looking, and looking, finally, I had to call Animal Control. They came out and helped me search. Finally, they found the cat. The officer put on some thick gloves and reached down behind the engine. He pulled out a struggling kitty and let it loose in a nearby yard.
I was late getting the kids to school that day, and had to explain to the principal.
So, you never know where a cat will hide.
