The automobile industry has been calling for drivers to ensure that cats that have climbed into a car's engine compartment escape before the vehicle is driven to prevent accidents and car troubles.
Nissan Motor Co. started a campaign called "Neko Ban Ban," or "Knock Knock Cats," in 2015 that encourages people to tap a car's hood so cats will run off.
The initiative has become widely recognized since then, garnering more than 1 million posts on social media.
