Sofarsogood Clutched April 17, 2007 Share April 17, 2007 My car hatch back, so kind of high for them to jump up. I also lift the wipers up as a form of barrier for them. Hope that helps. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Neutral Newbie April 17, 2007 Share April 17, 2007 (edited) My point is, cats are not computer programs, you won't really have an idea what they are up to (you own a cat, probably you won't know what its thinking, how can we safely assume that stray cats can't scratch cars/bikes?) btw, one morning i saw a pile of fresh cat crap ontop of a car windshield/bonnet area... heng not my car, but i pity the owner. 'kiap' you? last time my tame persian dug all 4 sets of claws into my lap dispite me wearing jeans. and in terms of surface context, a car surface is much smoother than any other surface found at the carpark... what makes you think that cats can't slip? it's just like inexperienced drivers (cats) who constantly use the 'brake' (cat claws) to slow down their car when they accelerated too fast (jumping onto the roof) those who say cat claws is same as human nails and are not hard is bullsh1tting, take a good look at all those car handle areas. in that context, human nails are blunt and not as sharp as a cat's. tell me that you can fix that with some cheap miracle anti-scratch paste/cream/liquid back to original, and i'll eat my words.

Apollo 1st Gear April 17, 2007 Share April 17, 2007 waxing ur car will help. good canabu wax emit strong smell should b rather pungent to them. armor all the tyres as well so they r not impulsive to spray a string of urine on them. in no time, they will abandon...

Relagsingh 4th Gear April 17, 2007 Share April 17, 2007 actually cat claws arn't as sharp as u think. it's very hard to leave scratch marks on car surface. think there was an article which states that cat nails are made of the same material as our nails. so if u can scratch ur car with ur nails.. then yeah ermm... my friend's bike seat cover, which is made of strong industrial PVC, was ripped by cats' claws several times. after he changed to thicker seat cover, still can get deep scratches. i dun think my nails can do that....

Coltplussport Turbocharged April 17, 2007 Share April 17, 2007 Get yourself a superbus, think they won't be able to reach the top. Another way is to ban all street cats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Neutral Newbie April 17, 2007 Share April 17, 2007 i can fully understand. my car boot has this very deep "meow was here" signature. actually the best way is to hv dogs peep on yuor car. then cats will stay far far. but would you do it?

Bluethorn Neutral Newbie April 17, 2007 Share April 17, 2007 The cats in my area love to jump onto cars at night to sleep, sometimes they also jump on when fighting. The issue is that they leave rather deep scratch marks and these could not be removed...haiz...wonder is there any way to prevent that other than using a dog to guard the car. Don't think there is any way to stop them. The link below shows the cat sleeping on the car (I've seen it a few times already) in the mornings. Unless the owner changes his parking spot, the cat will go back to the same car... http://www.flickr.com/photos/argent2/377010964/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rliewky 1st Gear April 17, 2007 Share April 17, 2007 Apply Collinite #845 on your bonnet. It's got an insecticide smell to scare the cat away. pretty sure that does not work because i still see the cats paw print on my car after using 845 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutty 4th Gear April 17, 2007 Share April 17, 2007 Talking about it... I just found cat paws on my 845 coated bonnet I guessed another way is to park as high as possible. Doubt the cats are so industrious as to climb that high to enjoy the warmth of the engine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
