The reasons why stray cats like to hide under cars:

1. Cats are timid and like to hide in hidden and dark places. The bottom of the car will make it feel very safe and difficult to be found.

2. Cats will observe their surrounding environment to see if there are any threats to them. The field of vision under the car is relatively wide, making it easier for them to observe.

3. Cats like the smell of gasoline. The smell of gasoline will make them feel happy.

4. Cats will hide under cars to keep warm in winter. It is difficult for stray cats to find a warm shelter in winter. When the car is parked, the engine will have some residual heat, and the cats will stay warm under the car.

5. Cats don’t like to be disturbed. The bottom of the car is relatively narrow, so it is difficult for people or other animals to get close to it, and the bottom of the car is open on all sides, making it easier to escape.
