- I'll bet the majority of paw prints are across your hood. If so, the cats
- aren't taking a shortcut, they're taking a nap on the warm hood after you
- come home in the evening. Nice and toasty up there on a cold winters night.
- I've watched neighborhood cats do this for years. If this is the case,
- they've got you staked and probably aren't going to change their habits.
- Heck, it's winter, everybody's car looks like sh_t. They'll stop when the
- weather warms up.
