Default First time, hopefully the LAST!

Wasn't paying much attention, working on the Jeep and moving vehicles around (we own WAY to many, mostly junk) anyhow after getting things back where they belong everything is shut and I walk thru the garage and our cat is laying sprawled out on the vert top like some Mustang Ranch FLOOZY
I snatched his a$$ off it and gave him a little help exiting the building...Might have to nick name him ELVIS (Elvis has LEFT the building)
Did you know cats can fly?
I really appreciate all the critters he kills, but he better stay OUT of the garage and the shop, and stay off the vehicles if he doesn't want more flying lessons




Anyone else ever give their cat flying lessons?

Cats just love verts, the top is the perfect place to sharpen their claws!

Lol, you brought back some good memories from our cat back in the days. We don't have a cat any longer but two one year old pups and the other day we found them inside the garage unsupervised but fortunately they didn't do anything to the cars or otherwise.

We have an indoor cat so no issues there.

They really do eliminate all the little critters

Funny story.

No pets in our house but if there was, most likely it would be a dog.

I had a cat that would bring live critters into my garage, drop them at my feet while I'm cleaning the vette, then go out and look for more. Talk about not doing your job!

For a short time I lived in a condo I owned, a rental property when I was in between homes. A neighbors cat had a habit or walking through mud and climbing on my Corvette since the nose was lower and easier to get on than other vehicles. Neighbor asked "was that my cat?" I informed her the cat was going to get swimming lesson in a burlap bad with a few rocks and the problem resolved itself that day.

hahah , cats are hilarious man I can just picture him on the top of the vert, and acting like its no big deal.

I took in a tiny kitten some kids were giving away in my old neighborhood, was never a cat guy but I figured I could find him a nice adopted home through the classifieds, but turns out I loved the guy and hes still with me years later.

Hes never been neutered and hes not declawed, but hes very well behaved and never gave me any trouble, (except for the two times he attacked me)

I d like to get him a wife but we don't have the space here right now, but yea hes fun as hell
