I had a cat awhile back (probably 15 years ago) who was asleep under the hood of my Jeep. Well I didn't know this and started to turn the key when I heard an odd noise under the hood. Then I heard a loud bang and seen and orange streak run behind the house. I went after her and she wouldn't come near me. So I yelled for my daughter to help. In the mean time I popped the hood and in the fan belt where it starts to go around the pulley was a clump of hair.
Then we finally get her inside so I can look at the wound. There was a 1 1/2" bald spot on her tail. She didn't go outside for weeks until the hair grew back. Ever since then I hit the panic button on my truck key before starting my truck if it has been outside overnight.

My three are very close to me most of the time. Can't even go to the bathroom without them waiting outside the door.
