Could end up in a bad way depending where the cat is when you start the car.

I've seen this with grisly results, albeit back in the early 80's when car engine bays had a lot of excess room. Unbeknownst to mom and I, a cat had curled up right near the radiator fan in the dead of winter. The car was a big Buick Park Avenue. Mom started the car, we heard some funny noises, got out, it took a few seconds but the cat fell, we could see it under the car, it was gross, a lifeless bloody mess. Went and got dad, he got a shovel, picked it up from under the car, and I'm presuming buried it in the alley.
