There is a cat in the neighborhood who insists on walking across my newly detailed 2002 MINI Cooper S/Jeep Cherokee, he/she usually does it after it's been raining, so it's paws are muddy and the car can be sitting all evening without being driven. So it can't be the warmth of the engine. Anyone else have this problem and what can I do to rid myself of this pest? BTW, there is a language barrier in that the quasi/owners are Italian and speak "0" english.:angry :nixweiss
 
They sell stuff at home depot that supposed to be an animal repellant. Looks like sand or litter and you just sprinkle it on the ground. It's non-toxic and biodegradable. The neighbor's car kept coming over and using my backyard as a huge litter box so finally my mom went and bought some. After a few days. VIOLA!!!! No more kitty and no more kitty poop. Oh wellz. :)
 
Do what me and buddies used to do in college to get rid of the mice problem in our house. Lay out some food, get a case of beer and most importantly an air gun. Sit back, relax, enjoy the beer and wait for the little creep to dare show his face and...WHACK...lights out. Nice and clean.



RELAX, I'm joking!



(but we did do that to get rid of the pesky mice. Execution by an air gun was more humane than choking on mice poison or decapitation by mouse trap).

You are in Italy, and you have a language problem with the owners of the cat speaking Italiano? :rolleyes:



Some ideas...



Learn the language..tell them about the cat.



Get car covers for your vehicles.



Keep the garden hose handy and spray the cat when you see it on the vehicles..they do learn quickly that if they get on the car, they will get wet!
 
We had a pretty huge thread about this about a year ago. It got pretty funny. lol Some creative people out there....
 
hot ignition coil then ground your car with a metal srtrap or whatever.....10K v of kitty detering power...oooooooh yeah...works really well if you have nice rims and the dogs feel a need to mark them
 
I had exactly the same problem, only in one case, the cat actually caused a big, deep gouge in the paint of my new black Altima SE.



I started looking out the window for the cat and whenever it ventured into my yard, I would blast all around it with my son's paintball gun. Not actually hitting it, but enough to scare the s&#! out of it!



It doesn't come into my yard anymore.
 
My mate had a problem with a cat using his yard as a litter tray.

he got friendly with it by feeding it for a few days, trapped it in his kitchen and stuck a mexican hot sauce soaked Band-Aid over said cats ringpiece.



Once the cat had (eventually) got the band aid off, it still had to lick itself clean.



I truly had never seen a cat grimace before.



Double Whammy .......
 
Great ideas, guys! I love the hot sauce idea. If you get after him with the hose, aim for the face. Better yet, pick the little demon up by the scruff of the neck and hold him there while you spray him, so you can get him sopping wet. Give him a bop on the nose for good measure. Mace (pepper defense spray) is always an option.



No, I am not a cat lover... Dogs are better because they would never do something as evil as this!
 
I don't believe this subject is in a thread.



For more than a year a wild cat used to sleep on the motor compartment of my ungaraged Volvo, it was all fur and ruined acoustic isolators, and on the hood during the day, causing, you know, SCRATCHES. I used to say to my wife, one day I'll catch him.



Well, now I have my garage and the car sleeps there all week.



A couple of weeks ago, on a Sunday afternoon, the car was parked outside of my house and we went out, me my wife and kid. We entered the car, I started the engine and slowly backed up from the park. When I started driving my wife screamed and when I looked in the rear view mirror the damn cat was jumping agonising. We continued and when we came back he was there, resting in peace in the parking lot.



I was pity of him as now we were not in war anymore, but I didn't saw him, he was just too slow getting out of the car and I hit him in the head. I picked him up with a shelf and paying him his last respects I puted him on the garbage can.



What a story!
 
just run the cat over when your neighbors are gone and get it over with thats what im gonna do to my neighbors dog when the right time comes so they wont think it was me
