How to keep cat OFF the car?

[RenoRaines]

I have this cat Fiona. Cool cat though :roll: BUT she insists visiting my car and roof often. I dunno why isn't she taking the Honda Jazz? To tall and steep probably.
Anyways, she made two of her paths. First one would be - boot lid, across the roof, down the windshield, bonnet and down pass the BMW corner signal. Second one - boot lid, along the leading edge of side window (good balance), wing mirror, hood and down by the second BMW corner signal. I wouldn't mind that much if she would be trolling all around and in mud puddles. All of that gunk and mostly sand sticks to her paws and while she's slipping and sliding (car is waxed) all over my hood she's leaving brake-marks. And those are not just some minor ones. She's leaving rubber and heavy brake trails all over the place :headbang:

So :fuelfire: or :violent1: is not an option 'cause I dig her. But is there some way or some sort of a scent that would keep her away?

Cats dont like citrus scents so you could try something lemony

Keep the basket you would use to take her to the vet on the trail to the car

Put a small quantity of dynamite under a bowl of food and perch it on the roof. Run a wire from the dynamite into your house and attach it to a detonator. Spend the bank holiday with freinds, eagerly watching and waiting for the cat to rise to the bait. Then, at the crucial moment, detonate the dynamite. Worked for me

Citronella oil worked for a while for me.... Got a scatmat in the end... And then the neighbours with the cats left!!

Just adding to the ideas im not sure if it only works on dogs but awhile back random dogs would go through our garbage bags and rip them open. So we covered the bags in pepper. Never came back after awhile.. Im not sure how you would like pouring pepper on your zed though.. :lol: but if not try sprinkling it around the zed.after awhile of using everybodys suggestions the cat won't bother anymore. Or you could just get a guard dog. Or a motion sensing camera that barks when it senses something. It should keep away more than just the cat. oke:

Apparently tinfoil works.

The Minced Cat post was obviously joking.

As for the debate.....

Perhaps they should be minced!

Another favourite is wire the car up to the mains, thus ensuring nothing gets close to the roof. As soon as the bodywork is touched.....kaboom. Works every time

I reckon we should vote for the MD of Bavarian Motor Works for PM so he can pass a law that forces BM stealers to recall all E85's and replace;

ALL ROOF MOTORS.

ALL ELECTRIC STEERING COLUMNS.

ALL FAILING COIL PACKS.

ALL FAILING O2 SENSORS.

AND IF THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON, ITS NO LONGER A MOT FAILURE.

ETC. ETC. ETC.


And a complete detail on all E85 Z4's regardless of age and engine size.

ALL IN FAVOUR SAY EYE! :rofl:

And NO CATS ON ROOFS. :lol:

skelters, I stated in the beginning that cat needs to stay alive Even if I would go with your plan I would need supernatural skilllzzz to catch this weasel. :lol:
Although I was considering priming the car with electricity. Hmmm....

Surely having a cat on your roof would double the value of your old knacker!?
