Alternator belt
Good morning!
I had a rather startling experience yesterday. I went to start my 2002 RL and was jolted by a series of thumps near the frot end. I shut off the car and went to check and found cat fur everywhere! I also noticed the alternator belt edge was shredded a bit. The grooves all appear untouched, but I am not sure if I should change out the belt. Any advice would be helpful. By the bye, the cat took off after his haircut!

What's the downside of changing it? I agree with Marco and Bob - change it.
