I live in a complex with dozens of cars in a nearby lot.  If all
these people honked their horns every morning, I would kill them
(and their cats).  Especially because I usually sleep later than
most of them.

A much more reasonable solution is to pop open the hood every
morning.  I've always done this just to look at my fluid levels
every day.  I would be only too glad to save a cat at the same time
that I save my car.

I refuse to honk my horn (unless it is an emergency, or I want to
get all my neighbors pissed at me).
