Knocking on Your Car's Hood Could Save a Cat's Life This Winter

Save a Cat's Life this Winter
The Quick Pickle Kit team are avid animal lovers + members of the Estero Bay Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). Our Quick Pickle Kit fans share the most amazing articles with us + we are grateful!

This year is a “Big Dill” for QuickPickleKit.com as we received the 2019 US Small Business Administration (SBA) Award for supporting nonprofits, reducing food waste and providing jobs for disabled adults.

If you are a cat lover, please read this article:

Nissan Japan has created the below video to raise awareness of this serious issue, and to encourage all car owners to knock on hoods before starting up their vehicles. A simple knock on a car hood can frighten a cat into jumping out of his hiding space before the engine heats up, saving his life.

With this video, Nissan takes a fun yet vital approach at reminding viewers of how important this act is during colder weather.

So why do cats do this? The answer is simple - to stay warm. Cats are attracted to the remaining warmth of a car engine while it is cooling down from a recent trip.

It's easy for cats to climb up inside an engine and rest beneath the hood - it's sort of like their own personal heating system. The problem occurs when you come home for a short stint before heading out again and never realize that the cat is in your car engine.

So, what can you do to help prevent this tragedy? Get in the habit and knock on hoods every time you go to start up a vehicle. Next, help to spread the word about this issue.

Nissan is using the hashtag #KnockKnockCats to gain support; you can also create messaging on social media using this same hashtag.

Finally, consider sharing this video with friends and family so they know to start knocking on car hoods, too. If we all do this together, we can save cats' lives.

Based in Los Osos, California, Andrea Wasko and her partner Meaghan Gilbert talk with correspondent Tom Wilmer about their pickling kit and partnerships with schools and nonprofit organizations.
