I always do this.
I've witnessed tragedies. 😿💔
Just as a FYI to Americans, a car "bonnet" is the "hood".
Check under your hood, tap the wheel wells, tap your bumpers (cats and animals curl up inside when they can).
It only takes about 2 minutes.
It's cold outside! ❄️ Important reminder that cats have a habit of crawling under car bonnets and wheel arches when temperatures drop. Make sure to tap the bonnet of your car and check around the wheels and on top of tyres before you start the engine and drive off.
