Cat Under the Car

I've often wondered why cats are lured to hanging out underneath cars. I could see their point if it was the dead of Winter and they had no other shelter to retreat to. The heat from the exhaust pipe would provide an excellent source of warmth and the tires could act as a wind barrier. But why would a cat hang out here in the Summer months? The answer: SHADE! Aha, yes, the automobile provides an excellent amount of shade from the sun. Why wouldn't our feline friend not take advantage of it? By the way, the kitty under Mom and Dad's car is named Ginger.
