Some of us are old enough to remember how cats and other creatures would get killed by old car engine designs with the large open fan driven by a belt. They would sleep on that fan housing and not realize the danger when the car was started. So there have been improvements that have helped, maybe not necessarily for that reason. For what it’s worth, I’m on the side of minimizing cars for so many reasons, but it has been worse for animals in the past.
i miss having cars with roomy enough engine compartments i can work on them myself without a cherry picker, just a jack and some stands. if keeping more cats alive is the tradeoff, i’d say it’s more than fair.
