Cats have always been known for their curiousity, and this trait has not gone unnoticed by car manufacturers. Over the years, they have developed several ingenious ways to get cats into car engines. In this article, we take a look at some of the most popular methods and see how they work.
How Cats Get Into Car Engines
Have you ever seen a cat getting into an engine? Well, according to a recent study, it’s not just humans who have trouble keeping cats out of car engines. In fact, cats are surprisingly good at getting into car engines. Researchers from the Royal Veterinary College in the United Kingdom studied how cats get into car engines and found that they do it by climbing up the side or door panels and then jumping in through the open window. While this might seem like a way to get free rides, the researchers say that cats usually only get into cars when they’re looking for food or water.
How to Prevent Cats Getting Into Car Engines
One of the most common reasons cats get into car engines is because they are looking for a place to hide. Make sure your cat has a safe place to hide when you’re not home, and be sure to keep all doors closed when you’re driving so your cat can’t get inside. You can also try keeping a small toy or litter box in the car for your cat to play with, or use one of the many devices on the market that deter cats from getting into car engines.
How to Remove a Cat From Inside a Car Engine
If you’re like most cat owners, you’ve probably had to rescue your feline friend from inside of a car engine at least once. Whether your cat got stuck while trying to get a peek at the engine’s workings or got stuck while playing in the car, removing them can be a tricky task. Here are some tips on how to safely remove a cat from inside a car engine:
1) Get everyone out of the car and stop the engine. If possible, open the door from the outside and use a pole or broom to help free your cat. If this isn’t possible, try using a blanket or coat hanger to pry open the window from the inside and grab your cat as they jump out.
2) Try to create a small hole in the engine casing so you can reach into and grab your cat. Be very careful not to puncture the casing or injure yourself. Hold onto your cat as best you can while using an improvised tool to start pulling them out. If all else fails, call for help!
