Repeat this process until whatever is hiding inside your car will come out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not use a hose to spray the animal out of hiding as you will rip out any intricate wires and hoses attached to the engine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If That\u2019s Not a Cat in the Car\u2026<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those in rural areas, there have been reports of monitor lizards and huge pythons seeking refuge inside a car engine<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When that happens, call the fire department or <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bomba<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for help.
