Please dont let your cat loose in a moving car...
If that cats gets scared and goes to hide between the legs of the driver. Good luck.
The cat was hiding in the back, meow. Also,
I also used to let my cat hide in the back seat until someone reminded me that if the vehicle has to stop suddenly or is involved in a collision, the cat could go flying. It's much safer for them and for you for them to be in a carrier, and the carrier buckled in, or at least wedged in somewhere.
Shit answer.
You cannot control where a loose animal will go in a car. I've dealt with car crashes with dead pets.
And pets are absolutely a driver's distraction.
Fuck off with any driver that allows unsecured pets in their cars.
