    They do.

    But coolant leaks typically aren’t happening the same time some one is dog sitting or whatever.

    If they lived together, I suspect it wouldn’t be so hard to believe it was an accident; but randomly having a radiator leak the same time your dog sitting? Or the dog is visiting?

      I had a neighbor who worked on cars in his driveway. Several neighborhood cats died before people realized what was going on. This was back in the 90s, though, and I don’t see so many outdoor cats nowadays.

        Let’s just be honest here and recognize that wasn’t an accident. He may not have intended to harm animals; but he was intentionally releasing toxic substances into the environment.

        (Illegally, I might add.)

        It’s one thing if you have a burst radiator hose or something where you can’t easily clean it.

        It’s something else if it’s a regular occurrence.
