Dilemma..A Value Conflict, If You Will

Please study the attached photograph carefully.

Facts:

1) This is not my cat. This is my neighbors cat.
2) He has been there for more than an hour.
3) No amount of yelling or banging on the window will move him.
4) He does this all the time to all of my vehicles.
5) I am the only one home in the neighborhood.
6) I can reliably remove his brains from his head from here, without risk of damaging the car.

Conflicts:

1) I am an alleged animal lover.
2) I cannot get downstairs to hide the body.
3) I am currently not capable of rinsing the skull fragments from the car.
4) It will be loud.


Please assist me in making this important decision. Your input, as always, is much appreciated.

As luck would have it, the dogs are at the beauty salon today.

Taser it.

I had a cat do that to my wife's old solara and I bought this goofy device with a motion sensor that would send out high pitched noise that humans and dogs could not hear. It was supposed to drive the cat crazy. I think it worked, the car quit sitting on top of the convertible.

if you spray the cat with spray bottle of water he won't go on the car again.

My old cat would claw up one my car covers, absolutely destroyed it. My neighbohr gave me the tip about the spraying water and he never went near the top again. I think there's also some sort of citrus spray you can get a pet smart that lingers for weeks and they can't stand.

Thumbs down

What the hell is wrong with you?

You're seriously thinking of killing an innocent cat? What you plan on shooting it?


Geez just scare it off somehow.


I hope you were kidding about hurting that cat, if not you're a sicko.

He wasnt going to blast a neighbours cat!!

I once chased a cat of my old TT and as it jumped from the room onto the bodywork skidded as it was waxed, claws came out paintwork scratched.

Now i think an eye for an eye........................

An hour -- what's taken you so long? Did you consider paying some neighborhood kids to tie some paper bags to his feet to teach that cat a lesson?

Or better yet, take him up to the sniper window & test if cats actually do land on their feet...

Just stick a piece of duct tape to it and let the owners remove it. They will think the cat accidently stumbled upon the tape and not knowing any better rolled on top of it... (plus if you do it symmetrically about its back it will look like a skunk with a pink stripe once the tape is removed)

Disclaimer: I am only kidding. My fiance and I have two cats, Guido and Yolanda... okay that's not their real names and she prefers that I don't call them by these names... shhhhhh...

If you continue to have difficulties, I can send over Mr. Mo. He will never be confused for a lean mean fightin machine, but he is an avid porsche lover, never sits anywhere on vehicles and will act as a secure deterrent.
After a recent foray/patrol:


Ever vigilant...

Mr. Mo is very beautiful...in the second picture. In the first shot, I was waiting for his head to spin around and green puke to fly out.

My ferocious Pekingese tag-team does a pretty fair job at patrolling for bogeys, but they were having a day of beauty today.
