I woke up this morning, and there was blood all over the hood of my car!

Maybe it wasn't blood, but it was red and looked awfully like blood. I can't explain it. It wasn't there yesterday, and I didn't hit anything going home.

I have a carport, (not a garage), and the only thing I can come up with it that my cat, or one of my neighbors cats had her period on my car's hood !

It was more than a few drops. But there were no scratches or dents or anything.

My cat seems fine, and no blood in my house. And if somebody ran over something in the road like a ketchup bottle, it wouldn't have dotted in various places on the hood like it was. There were small amounts of it everywhere... you would think if it was something from the road, that there would be a large concentration in one area, not spread all over like it was. I'm really puzzled, I have no idea what it was.

If you really suspect it is blood, try putting hydrogen peroxide on it. Blood creates a white-offwhite foam when in the presence of peroxide. Dried blood is also pretty brown in color. Did it wash off with just water?

BTW, if you have blood stains on clothes, douse the stain with hydrogen peroxide before washing. It'll be gone.

Crap. Do I sound like the hit and run king or something? Or maybe Heloise!

I wish I would have known that peroxide thing, as I would have done that just to figure out of it really was blood. It was reddish brown in color, and very much resembled blood.
I washed it off right away, as I didn't want it to stain. It didn't wash off with just water, but with a little soapy water it came off real easy.

I swear there is something evil going on with you and that car.

Glad you made it back safely though and that you are happy to have it back. Let's just hope her real name is not Christine.

My guess is ketchup.
