Default Cat problems (animal kind)

Right, I like my car clean so I try and make a point of giving it a wash, chamois and a coat of polish every couple of weeks.

Problem I have is one of the neighbours cats likes the nice warm bonnet. Obviously it can't grip on the polished paint. End result, my bonnet scratched to fook. Anybody have a humane suggestion on what I can do before I break out the .22?

Cat hates orange peel - maybe put it around your car?

I know I'm in the same boat as you mate, my drive is round the side of my house so you cant see the little cunts either. There's a high wall to the side of my drive which on the other side is a neighbours garden, the one that owns the cats. So they jump onto my bonnet, walk up the windscreen, and jump from the roof up over the wall. It drives me mad!

They also shit in my front garden, dig under the fence, scratch the fuck out of my shed, walk over the flower beds etc.

I have thought about putting the mangey cunts in a box and driving them a long way away, however no doubt they would be back in no time.

And as for your joke about shooting it, if I happened to have a shot gun at my side and a cat walked through my back garden, I wouldn't have any second thoughts about doing it!!!

Next time your doing a coolant change, leave the tray of old coolant round the back of your house, if they drink it its up to them isnt it. Should stop them coming back!

my neighbours cat does that also, doesnt scratch it, but when i get it all nice and clean, come the morning theres little muddy footprints that go up the bonnet, windscreen then on to the roof. if i see it I shoo it away, but you wont stop the little bugger.

annoying as they are, you cant kill a cat for leaving muddy prints on your car. its someones pet that loves it. i'd be having words if i had a cat and someone killed it.

Well, its the truth. I am sick of having my car scratched, flowers that me and my mrs spend a lot of time and money on ruined, the walls and roof felt on my new shed scratched to shit, my front garden shat all over, and the fence dug under. If a person came round to your house and did it, you would be fooking seething, so why should the actions of their fluffy little puddy cat be any different?

If it was a rat or mouse problem everyone would be agreeing with you...

I have similar cat issues too, no way I could hurt them though and don't want to fall out with the neighbours either.

I've got one of those PIR ultrasound doofers, will report back on the catshit situation once it's had a decent trial

lol, the carpet was shit when we moved here, and what with the puppy havent bothered changing it until he learns not to piss on it and stop pulling it up. His a Jack russell. looks like a nasty little bastdard in the pic, but he scares himself half the time.

*UPDATE*

Just popped out to the car and found more scratches, this time I had to laugh a little. They are on the rear 1/4 panel. Looks like Garfield tried to jump from the car next to mine onto my car and lost grip as there is a chip to the paint and 2 full sets of claw marks sliding down the side of the car.

This was the thought in my mind

Agree with every word of that.

Why some people think they have to be 'the big man' and go on about poisoning and shooting is beyond me.
