CATS!!! Cats on my Paint :(

[Intrepidman]

I'm half venting, half wondering what to do to the little bastards. Does anyone else have this problem. Everyone in the neighbourhood has a pet cat...or 6. And at one time or another they all seem to find thier way over to my place, and for some reason my WS6 is their favorite place to play (usually after running through some mud) Use your imagination as to what this is doing to my paint.

I don't know what I'm going to do about it....but I'll likely end up in jail as my only current ideas are a Remington .22 with subsonic ammo or a #4 Conibear trap. Its either that or build a garage, and I don't have that much $$$ to spare.

when i lived with my mom, our cats managed to find mud somewhere, all the time. they like to lay on my spoiler, we had 2 of them. but the back is high, so one cat jumped up on the front bumper, and walked up the driver side all the way to the back to sleep, the other cat did the same thing up the passenger side. And of course, the day after i washed, theyd do it again

Solution- pick up a $25 car cover at walmart

yeah, I thought of that, but the thing about car covers is the constant taking them off, putting them on...and if your car (or the cover itself) isn't completely 100% clean then your scratching your car yourself with any dust that might be between them...I'm not a fan.

Think about it this way...when the neighbors see you constantly putting on/taking off your car cover, and they ask why, then you can casually say "CAUSE SOME DUMBASS IS LETTING THEIR CATS PLAY ON MY CAR!!"

And smile like you know who the idiot(s) is/are.

Nothing like a lil kind INSULT to stir things up, eh?

set the conibear trap then throw them out on the street, so it looks like they got hit by a car.

We have 2 cats.

1 of them (the one I actually like) used to lay in the hood scoop of my SS when it was warm after driving.

Solution is either garage it or get a Scat Mat.

Scat mat is fun and they learn quickly when electricity is involved!

About $70.

haha...or I could just wait until spring and extract vengence directly with the new 315 nitto's.

Who do you think would in a street race" Spotted Tabby VS F-body ? lol

I like the scat mat idea. I have a cat and he gets on mine but I have a cover now and I don't DD mine.

I know you can put a blanket just over the car and take double-sided tape and throw like a 100 wads of the stuff on the blanket. Yeah a little bit of work but it will drive the cats friggin' crazy...they can't stand it.

I hate the little hell spawn , and of course we have 4 of them, go figure. Didn't take too long for them to learn the T/A was off limits, a bucket full of landscape rocks works wonders .They all make an effort to stay away from the car now.

Have your car stolen. Then you won't have to worry about the cats.




But seriously,
Common sense > Animal cruelty

...build a garage...

That was my solution and the only one that has permanently worked.

When i had my golf green at my house the neighbours cats started to shit in my sand traps, so i started putting leg hold traps in the sand.

Do you have any idea how cruel and painful of a death that causes animals. It causes complete renal failure. Kidnies go first and it is all downhill. About the most inhumane thing you could do. Shoot them before doing that unless you're some sick sadist with mental issues.

Just for point of clarity, "pet cats" that are looked after and cared for, still barely register to me as "animals".

Cats that are simply kept around and are constantly let lose to roam the neighbourhood at will are simply Vermin!

Now a dog...there's an animal, even a 3lb chiwawa is far ahead of a cat in my book.

They will learn the FIRST time for sure.
