Extreme example of engine warmth being attractive to stray cats

Warmth is everything to a stray cat in a cold climate and this picture proves it. The engine heat is clearly funnelling through the gap between the hood and the windscreen forcing the cats to congregate; closely packed together in a line.

The good thing about this is that the car owner can see the cats which is not the case when they are tucked inside the engine compartment. Many stray cats are harmed this way.

Some car owners would be dismayed at this if it was their car as they'd be claiming that the cats scratched the paintwork. Cats rarely do as they are such precise jumpers. They land with a feather light touch most times as the jump is perfectly timed.

This would seem to be a family or extended family as the coats bar one are similar. My guess it is the mother and her subadult offspring.
