Not sure if you're actually concerned about the cat on the car or if you were just foolin' around with this thread, but, if the former: Cats hate stepping on stuff that sticks to their feet. Get some double-stick tape and put several strips of it across the width of the top. (I'm reasonably certain it would pull off easily even after a few days and wouldn't cause any damage.) We tell people that have problems with their cats hanging out on their kitchen counter-tops when they're not around to give this a try. It does seem to work. (And, as rick3000 suggested, if kitty decides to use the top as a scratch post, it could get ugly fast.)

How's the Pekingese rescue/transport mission progressing?

If you were in the neighborhood, my precision PCP (pre-charged pneumatic) .22 cal airguns come with a built in silencer and 18X vairable scope groups nicely under a half inch at that distance....

We have a cat and the neighbors in our area have lots of cats, and they love the top of my boxster. I try to hid the car in the garage when I can and keep hair-removing rolls handy. It really sucks to see the muddy paw prints going across the hood and windshield to end up with a bunch of fur on the roof. I guess it is one of the costs of lowering the suspension, ha,

No way, those things make it to the hood of my tundra with a leveling kit on the front, your resistance is futile.

Here is a link to my cat deterrent

Thanks, Griz, I just spit water all over my laptop

Great post ! Either you're feeling better, or the pain medication is finally starting to kick in

She's is being treated for heartworm and ear mites. She needs a health certificate for interstate transport, so the ear mites have to be taken care of first. Thankfully, her last heartworm test came back light. Did I say that right? We think we're going to use a pet relocation service to transport her by truck. I can't begin to make her arrangements before she's healthy, though.

I got this picture of her from the rescue the other day. She looks so much better. The pictures from when she was seized? Well, take a look. Poor baby. Seven years in a wire cage.

Cats like high places since they feel safe. If that place is warm then so much the better.

You are not going to run out of a house and spray a cat with water. Unless the cat is dead or really slow or you can suprise it.

When I bought the box in 1999 I had 2 cats. At least one of them liked my top as a resting place.

It has been said that cats don't like stepping on strange things, like tin foil and tape. I could see the paw prints on the front trunk lid. I waxed the heck out of the trunk lid and the cat still got on the top.

I was not going to cover the front of my car in tin foil.

I put masking tape upside down all over the lid one evening. I expected to find a cat rolled up in tape in the morning.

Next morning I found paw prints on the exposed tape. The cat still got up there.

As for the BB gun....

I could bring my English Bulldop to visit, and if you are lucky you won't have to feed her.

Got any pictures of her? English Bulls are the best. I hope my present dogs outlast me; they own my heart. If not, I'm going to lobby hard for an English Bull.

That's a tough one, if you talk to the neighbors and they are not receptive you can't snuff Mr. Putty. That picture bothers me and it's not even my ride. If you value your neighbors, put some clear carpet runner upsidedown on the top, the little spines will dissuade him. Otherwise, a lil friskies & Prestone makesa a fine meal.
