One of our 18-month-old cats Valentine isn't afraid of cars or neighbors and I fear she will be squashed by a car at some point if this behavior continues.
They don't even move from the driveway when I'm driving off or coming home but that's probably because they know I'm aware of them. No matter how close the vehicle approaches them, they just don't move. They are lounging like kangaroos... It's annoying but at least I know I have to pay attention.
Now the problematic thing is that she goes near my neighbor whenever she's around her car with their kids. (she often parks her car on the street)
She even got in their car once while she was putting the kids in the car. She's aware of Valentine but can't always make sure she's not beneath her car. Like the other night I was out in the front yard with our cats and Valentine made a dash for her car and sat right in front of her rear tire when she was about to drive off as though she had a death wish. I had to run after her and knock on her car window to alert her.
I will try to look out for her but that's not always possible....but can't keep them inside the house all the time. Is there any solution to fix this reckless behavior?
