We don’t have to tell you that cats are one of the most beloved creatures walking this Earth – you already know this. Whether it’s because in Bored Panda we talked about it a lot, you have it somewhere else on the internet, or simply noticed it in real life.
To continue this cute narrative, today we’re serving you another portion of whimsical cat charm. This time, it’s felines and cars that they apparently love quite a lot. So, get in loser, we’re going to look at cute cat pics!

As you can see, today’s list is full of pics of “mechanic cats,” or in other words, just felines being obsessed with cars. Whether “fixing” its wheels, “driving” it with a steering wheel, or straight-up chilling on its engine.
But why are cats so obsessed with those vehicles? Well, we can’t really say anything about their wish to “drive”, but we know why they like to spend time near/on engines. It all comes down to the fact that the engines tend to be warm.

To be more specific, cats tend to gravitate towards engines mostly during the cold time of the year due to the warmth they expel. So, just imagine you’re a kitten who feels cold, and you find something that warms you up – you’re gonna sit on it.
This especially happens between stray cats or those who are not home-bound and get to go outside at least from time to time. Cat mothers sometimes even bring their newborns there to warm them up, so it’s rather a common practice of felines.

That’s why drivers should have this in mind when starting their cars – check under your vehicle, check under your car’s hood, and anywhere else where you think a cat might get into. You don’t want to hurt an innocent animal just for trying to get warm during merciless weather.
After all, stray and outside cats already face many other dangers. And some of them are also stemming from human activities. For instance, folks with malicious intentions might set up traps, poison, and stuff like that.

Not to mention the traffic accidents that cats tend to get into quite often. Turns out, it’s partially the fault of their rather narrow field vision. Well, technically, it’s not completely narrow, but it’s not as wide as the one for dogs, which results in cats being victims of traffic more often. Cats’ eyes are on a flat plane in front of their heads, and that’s why they can’t react in time to danger on either side.
Of course, their vision isn’t the only reason why they become victims of car accidents more often than canines. Their smaller size and relatively erratic movements can make them harder to spot in time and also play a rather large role in the statistics.

The fact that there are simply more stray cats than dogs overall increases these numbers too. It’s due to the fact that societal norms often tolerate free-roaming cats, while dogs tend to be more home-bound. And so, since it’s more normal to see a cat in the streets, it’s natural that there are more of them straying, thus more of them getting into the incidents.
Either way, even though felines tend to fall victim to cars from time to time, it still doesn’t change the fact that they love vehicles too, as today’s list shows. Well, as long as the car is not going, it doesn’t pose that much threat to them, but it provides us with entertaining pics!
