Default Stupid Cat!!!

Ok everynow and then I will find lil paw prints all over my hood where a cat decided to keep warm. This doesn't happen to often but even 1 time is enough. Anyone else have this problem. How can I keep that cat away from my car? I know I could cover it but that takes too much time.

Moth ***** scattered around the car, on the ground or floor, will do it.

Isn't there some kind of spray I can use around the area that would do it?

If there aren't any scratches on it, then why even worry? ...the prints wipe up. The cat is living; the car is a metal and plastic wonder.

My cat jumps on my car all the time. She has all of her claws and has never left a mark on it. She doesn't hurt the car and they clean up in 30seconds!

Girls will be more impressed that you care about the cat than the car too! I would throw away my car before my cat!

The car is low enough that they do not have to use their claws

If you have to ask, let a cat jump on your car, then let a dog do it. See which one actually damages the car!

Cat problems are unavoidable. This car is just such a ***** magnet.

Do the smart and easy solution, avoid guilt, problems with the neighbor, and or police by using a few moth *****. Save yourself potential aggravation.

I use some stuff call Critter Ridder. It's just course ground black peppercorns. I put a little in a couple small tupperware containers and set one on the hatch and one on the roof. I have a car cover and the cats really like to sleep on it. They hate Critter Ridder, problem solved.

not really true about them not scratching.. if you have a good wax job they will scratch the paint trying to hold on.. if ya need to get rid of em', the humane way is getting a live animal trap.. i had a cat problem at my other house where they were using my yard as there litter box.. in two weeks time i caught 13 cats.. i caught the neighbors twice and gave him back to them... the rest were feral cats..
