That really isn't safe. All it takes is one other stupid driver, and your kittie could be facing the worst. Please harness and belt them if they're not going to be crated, especially with the window down ๐Ÿ™

Ok thank you! I came to this thread fully expecting it's popularity to be based on the huge number of comments saying wtf?! a cat riding down a busy road with the window fully down, sticking it's head out?!!!

Dead internet theory my friend, the bots have taken control a long time ago.

Have you ever heard of the dead internet theory? If not check it out, weโ€™re living in a dystopia.

No, but please do wear a seatbelt and stay safe ๐Ÿ‘

Obviously, it's your life, and I can't tell you what to do, but I still hope that you're keeping safe over there.

I also hope the same thing for the kittie.

Considering the photo appears to be taken from outside of the car, and there's no air moving the fur, the car is stationary.

I think the picture was still taken from inside the car. Someone with long blond hair is sitting in the seat and holding the cat and I'm betting they just held their phone up to the sideview mirror.

Not positive, but it looks like it was taken from inside the car in the front passenger seat. Based on the road lines, they may be at a red light, but they definitely are on a road with other vehicles (such as the blue one on their right and the ones coming up behind them).

I left a similar comment on an Instagram post and I got literal death threats from people. Thank you for commenting about this! Sincerely, a concerned person in the vet field who has seen way too many unnecessary emergencies from cats not secured in the car.

How is he supposed to ponder stuff like that though?
