cats and racoons love climbing onto a warm engine ....
That's what radiator fan blades are for. :rag:
You'd wish this upon someone's CAT? :space: :eek:
No one would wish it on them but shit happens.

Do you open the hood everytime you go to start a car???

A friend of mine went on a 2 week vacation and when he came home his toyota pickup wouldn't start. While t-shooting he opened the air box. Pack rats had made a nest in it the completly plugged the filter.

I have seen cars with the wiring all chewed up by critters.

In Germany there is an animal called a marten that gets into engines and eats the wires. We had one in Baumholder that got 3 cars in one night all in the same parking area. It caused a couple thousand dollars worth of damage to each car.

Wellll,...No,...But I do tap my horn first and make more noise than usual before starting. :space: :wink:

And,...what Navigator posted was not about a,..."shit happens"... type a thing. :space: The removal of underhood Cats/Raccoons does not need the use of the Blades.....( as he said the blades were for) .

Bullshit. Nobody honks thier horn everytime they go to start the car...

If they are under the hood of a car they are pests, F'm.

Can't help but agree.

I even backed over our old cat about 20 years ago and still wasn't anything I could have done about it.

You want to sleep in a warm engine bay? Tough luck...

Well, Herb,....It's true that not everyone taps their horn before starting their car,....but I DO when the weather is cold and the animals seek the warmth of the engine compartment.

It's easy to do,....costs you nothing,..... takes only 1, maybe 2 seconds to perform,...and does a Jim-Dandy Job of awakening the animals. :space: :clap:

After seeing the results of cut-up cats from Radiator Fan Blades at the Animal Rescue Shelter I volunteer at, I adopted this.
And invite others to do the same. :space: :bow:

What a cold, heartless uncaring thing to say.

You prove again the level of character you have shown us all you are.

Bet your neighbors love you.

I still say that any animal under the hood of a car is a pest and I don't care what happens to them. I have had cats, or some other animal, piss under the hood. Damn near impossible to get rid of the stink when the engine warms up.
