well last couple days ive noticed cats sleepin on my car at night and ive been scarin em away but i can't do anything when i go to sleep, i didn't think much of it, but this morning theres two huge *** scratches on my trunk and my rear fender where you can tell the damn cat slid off, the scratch goes from the top of my trunk to all the way to the bottom ...how the hell do i keep them off my car?..

 

i got the same problem. i don't know how to keep them away. there are stray cats around here. i think i'm gonna call animal control and get those cats taken away.

 

I had the same problem, now my trunk is

 

Wait till it's dark, so no one will see you, and **** around your car. Not only will it keep the cats away might do the same for thieves too.

 

get a pitbull and tie him on a leash to your tow hooks at night

 

car covers

 

cats are a big problem... they like cars b/c they're usually hotter than the surrounding area on a cool night and cooler than the surrounding area on a hot night. they make "scat mats" that shock animals, but that's probably not an option if you're parking in a lot or on the street.

what about putting some really sensitive microwave sensors in and having the car honk once whenever an animal gets near it? might take some serious alarm reprogramming, but you could market that if you worked it out well enough. hey i should do that. hmmm.

 

put antifreeze near the car, they will drink and DIE muhahahahahahhahahah breathe in muuuhahahahhahahahhahahah





























na j/k get a car cover

 

put stuffed animals on it....I don't know if it works but the thought just popped in my head

 

 

Air Soft Gun, but blu's idea seems more entertaining. hehehehehe

I had an Anti-Freeze/ATF/Motor Oil/Gasoline combo in a 5 gallon bucket on the floor of my garage, I dont know if my cat drank it at all, but he's still alive. I only get paw prints some of time.

Warm cars = happy cats. They'll sleep under it.

The "nicest" way would be with a squirt gun and/or hose, but washing your car every night may not be the greatest idea. A week or two of hosing the damn cats off the car would/should train them not to. Personally I wouldn't want to have to do it every day for 10 days but as far as training animals goes, it should work.

Try a pet store. There's bound to be some spray-stuff that keeps animals away from areas.

 

car covers could be a problem too, cause then that makes people curious

 

you don't realize how "tempting" that idea is...........

 

Hose or air horn. It gets the point across but is still humane.

Oooh wait, just got an idea. Hit your panic button whenver you see them on there. That should do it.

 

There's a citrus based spray that they sell at pet stores to keep cats away. I used it on my christmas tree when I used to have a cat to keep it from knocking it over. Cats don't like the citrus smell. You can also just leave a pile of orange peels around your car too if you want to do it that way.

 

I heard of some security system for your car, and it gives off a shock when you touch the car, its like $500, but it'll keep the cats of your car

 

I keep my cat from jumping up on the hood of my car in the garage by using those leftover styrofoam from my tv. The trunk is too high and she can't jump up there. Cats like to be high up off of the ground so they can scope their turf.

 

throw some fire-crackers in your drive for a few days and they will stay away.

 

throw some fire-crackers in your drive for a few days and they will stay away. M80 work the best.

 

your cat must be a kitten

 

#1- get a car alarm... and set the shock sensors on high so that when the kitties get on your warm hood, it will go off and scare teh **** outta em.

#2- like someone mentioned... put a moat of coolant around your car LOL

 

remember the cats are comming while he is sleeping,


ill make sure he puts hte antifreeze

 

Thumbtacks all over your car. Pointy end upward of course.

 

my paint job is screwed thanks to my old neighbors cat who kept getting on the car..I would hit the panic button and it wouldn't budge...damn cats. I have scratches way below the clearcoat..and the worst ones go straight down by rear window..grrrr

 

i still say the pitbull idea is better

 

De-pawn them. Sort of like de-clawing but an inch higher. Strangest thing, they don't seem to want to jump up on anything with boney stubs for feet.

 

i say get a dog and place him near your car.

and the antifreeze thing, you'll be in deep !@#$ if the SPCA found out.

 

Try this, might work well.

The Scare-Crow

It's made to keep cats and dogs or other pests outta your gardens.

 

Nope.

Firecrackers are illegal up here and besides I wouldn't do that to my cat or dog.

 

car cover and spray it with lemon juice. cats stay away from citrus(we use it on the furniture) and that way you dont ruin your paint by spraying lemon juice directly on it.

 

Jesus, you guys think you can pull any more myths out of the proverbial hat? I have a cat that eats oranges, peel and all. Tell that cat that it's not supposed to like citrus based stuff...

 

And here's another one...

Just because that one cat doesn't like it doesn't mean it works for every domesticated cat in the world. Like I said, I have a cat that will literally claw her way up your body to get to what I'm cutting (lemons, oranges, tomatos, anything citrus). My other cat will eat the Insane sauce wings from Zaxby's and not miss a beat (bastard steals them right off my plate if I turn my head). All of these remedy things are just ways that those particular businesses make money. Sure it may work on 1 out of every 5 cats, but that's not all cats.

 

Have Sprintmax stand near your car, he repels all pu$$y.

 

 

I have 4 cats, who all go outside. They enjoy laying under my car, which is cool. But I've had a heart to heart talk with all of them about getting on top of the car. They fully understand. I don't have a problem with them.
For the neighborhood cats, I pull out 'ole Mister Daisy. Ten pump that is. One stubborn neighborhood cat got on my car a few times, and I shot him off a few times. He eventually learned. The others learned after the first time. If you are going to do this, and the offender is still on your car, aim a little high just for safety. With the neighborhood cats, I can see one near my yard, pump the BB gun IN the house, and the cat scats before I make it to the door. Same effect as when I hear a shotgun being racked... Anyways, plink them every time they come in your yard or near your car. They'll learn. But check local laws before harassing cats. Or do it on the sly, and if asked, deny everything.
Antifreeze is supposed to work, but it didn't for me. You could try a couple of mousetraps set near the car with say, tuna, on it. And if anyone complains about it, say it's not your fault the cat went for the trap you set for the neighbor's mice!

I have a car cover that I could sell.
