Nissan Asks Drivers to Knock on the Hood to Check for Sleeping Cats Before Starting Their Cars

In an adorable video featuring a number of different cat memes, Nissan Motors reminds drivers to knock-knock on the top of the hood before starting the car in order to gently startle away any cats who might have sought warmth and shelter in or on the vehicle.

You can save a cat’s life just by knocking on a car hood before driving. In the cold of winter, some cats try to warm themselves by hiding under car hoods. However, this may lead to a tragic outcome if you start a car without checking. “Knock Knock Cats” is a technique to avoid such tragedies. It’s the little efforts that can save precious lives,
and Nissan supports a society where everyone, including cats, is safer.
