Neighbor's cat!

808@702 · 07-22-2013, 09:08 PM

So I washed and polished my car yesterday. This morning I came in to the garage and there were cat paw prints all over the trunk roof and hood!

Does anyone know of a way that doesn't involve a gun as how to prevent this from happening. I will do a car cover if I have to but hassle. Possibly a cat repellant spray? I do plan on speaking to the neigbors but don't want to come off like a douche. Flame suit on.

A dog may be your best solution.

Only cat paws? I got raccoon paws, cat paws, and I think even the possums somehow get up there. Get a dog.

Ugh. This happens to me every time I visit my parents. About the only way is going to be get it into a garage (that closes). Failing that, your best option is to cover it. Basically, if it wants to get up there, it's going to. As silly as this sounds, I have heard tale of propping a broom up against the car as a way of keeping them from wanting to jump on it, but I haven't tried that.

It's all fun and games, until someone suggests to kill a cat.

Perhaps a special blend of meatball treats for the kitty's last meal? Made with cat love, aka antifreeze

PrimeBMW · 07-22-2013, 09:59 PM

Put it in the garage. Paw prints are one thing but wait until it slips and scratches your clear coat..........

bsiciliano · 07-22-2013, 10:00 PM

Well, at least there are no mice or other vermin under the hood gnawing on wires.

M3Pedal · 07-22-2013, 10:12 PM

Could be worse. I went outside once and found a very angry pit-bull on the roof of my car, yes the roof. Scratched the whole car up.

saeedg48 · 07-22-2013, 10:30 PM

buy a gun

What?!? Pics or it didn't happen.

As a cat owner, the only thing short of a car cover would be to arm yourself with a spray bottle and hawkishly guard your car. It would only take, say, three or four instances of spraying the cat when it gets near your car to instill in it a fear of doing so. But then you'd have to be pretty vigilant in the beginning. Since that's not practical, I'll join the others and say: car cover.

I'm just glad our cats are deathly afraid of the garage even without the added deterrence of a spray bottle.

There you go. Then be sentenced to jail for animal cruelty.

Op, how about a car cover? I had to do buy one because my cat was leaving her marks all over.

1MOREMOD · 07-22-2013, 10:55 PM

Just a thought? Can your cat open the door to get into the garage?

cambit · 07-22-2013, 10:56 PM

buy a trap at home depot for $50.

cover the trap with a burlap sack, place newspaper on the bottom. open a can of tuna, stick it inside and set the trap.

come back in 24 hours, see if you caught anything. if the cat is inside, take a metal skewer and stab the fuck out of the cat.

get a shovel, bury the dead cat. problem solved.
