I’ve known for a long time that cats will get close to engines to keep warm and safe from dogs and other animals. Especially in rule areas. Raising the hood and using a light sometimes helps.
Yes I’ve had it happen to me. One day a long time ago I noticed my two cats didn’t greet me in the morning and I had a gut feeling before leaving for work. I opened the hood and found them both laying on top of the engine casually. I got into the habit of checking every day and found them under the hood multiple times. Thanks.
