There's nothing quite like finding a warm spot on a cold day. And for cats, that spot is usually in the sun.

But why do cats love warm places so much? Well, it turns out that cats are actually built for heat.

Their fur is designed to trap heat close to their bodies, and they have a higher number of sweat glands on their paw pads than any other animal.

This helps them regulate their body temperature and stay comfortable in warm weather. But there are also times when they even go to dangerous spots such as the car engine.

There are a few reasons why cats might hide in car engines. First, it's a warm and sheltered spot.

Cars tend to be parked in garages or other sheltered areas, which can provide some protection from the elements for a cat. Also, cats are curious creatures and they may simply be exploring their surroundings when they climb into a car engine.

That's why it's important to be careful when starting your car if you think there might be a cat hiding inside. Other people make it a point to knock on their cars first before they get inside their cars and start the engine.

Today, we're looking at a story of a cat who climbed under a car hood and ended up in her forever home.

A man finds a little kitty under his car's hood.

He was kind enough to provide cat tax.

Look at that cutie!

He shares the story about how he found the feline.

He had to call animal control because he couldn't get her out of the spot.

Turns out, there are kitties out there who choose their humans this way.

People started sharing their own cat adoption stories.

Kitties love napping with the car engine. They love the warmth it gives them.

The first to inhabit the home was the cat. Now, the feline and their owner are still together.

Others were concerned because someone else might have owned the cat.

When you find a stray, make it a point to have it checked by the vet to see if there's a microchip.

Microchips are important for pet identification and safety. If a pet is lost, a microchip can help reunite them with their owner.

Checking for a microchip should be part of the standard procedure for any animal control officer or shelter worker when taking in a stray animal.

Turbo is probably a stray cat from the very beginning.

The man should be able to determine if it's someone's pet if he has a vet appointment.

That weird noise when a cat is hanging out with the cat engine

In many cases, cats choose us and not the other way around.

Cats love to hide, and they especially love to hide in small, tight spaces.

So it's no surprise that some of them have taken up residence in the engine compartments of cars. In case your neighborhood has cats hanging around, check if there's a cat under your vehicle and look at the top of your tires.

Sometimes, these felines are in deep sleep under your car. Give them time to scramble away for safety.
