Whats a man gotta do to protect his toy?

I've tried the fear factor but no joy :poke:

Keep the suggestions legal :lol:

 
I have the same problem with my cat mate.I've tried opening the roof with my Gaptech to stop her when she is snoozing on it :evil:
I've given up now trying to stop her.I use a long strip of packaging sticky tape to get the hair's off the roof. :thumbsup:
 
I had the same problem on my last Z4. A friend told me to try tin-foil as apparently cats hate the sound and feeling of tin-foil. So I tried it...

I took one strip and put it down the middle locking it on with both windows. Well, I was shocked, it worked! The cat stayed away and after a few weeks I stopped putting the tin-foil back on and the cat never returned! I'd say its definitely worth a try!
 
I keep a lint roller in the boot for this kind of hairy scenario.

Alternatively, you could put something a bit higher, warmer and softer next to the car. A bird table with a black pillow perhaps? A friend in a Mr Blobby costume?
 
Any spray with a citrus scent should work.

Failing that, water pistols/jet wash/hosepipe works wonders.
 
Wish I could help but none of my suggestions are good if its your own cat and probably not legal :evil:

There were tears at bedtime when this was last discussed!

I have a fence post at home the moggies used as a scratching post - Its in tatters now but the tin foil has stopped it! :thumbsup:
Now all I have to stop is the their crap in the garden. :x
 
Every time you find the cat on the car give it a blast with the hosepipe, it will get the idea eventually.
 
One of my earliest memories was my Grandfather giving me a cup of water and telling me to chase the cats from his vegetable patch! - I never caught one, ever!
:thumbsup:
 
I'm away on holiday in Germany at this time - I spent hours washing and polishing the car - Got to the hotel and the local moggy has been dancing all over the roof and bonnet with its mucky boots on :x

I suppose hair comes off easier than scratches so be thankful :)
