Ya gotta luv 'em...but...

you will notice paint scratches on the fenders/quarter panels as they like to land then slip and dig in for purchase. I keep the garage closed and every time I am out doing something and leave it open,,,,sure enough!!,,,, Missy the Monster Cat tracks all over the car causing me to have thoughts that would make a PETA member fade away. You must protect the paint along with the top if you are to continue letting them on the car.

Oh, their days of sleeping on the car are over.....

I took it out of the garage today to examine the damage more closely in the light, and while I am doing this one of them walks over and starts to sharpen her claws on the tire.

I looked exactly like this:

Check the pet store - they have sprays for keeping animals away that you can use around the perimiter of the car...they'll find another place to go and you'll be fine.

We have a Pixie-Bob cat: 7 toes on the front paws and 6 on the rears - she opens cabinets, doors, etc. and needless to say, we keep her nails trimmed. She loves to climb & jump but the spray around the vehicles works.

A cat's normal body temperature is 102. If you can create a warm spot, that is high up for the viewing thing, they might ditch your car top for a better locale. A heating pad up on a shelf? Or if this is outside, Uhm,... dunno.

14 bedrooms? Holy cow that's a big house. Are you saying that a home that large doesn't have a garage?

If you don't have one, build one!

I have a garage but the maids and security guards are always walking through it so I cannot stop the kitties. Tonight I put the cover on the car and a big piece of styrofoam on top of the roof. I think this will keep the kitties off for now until I think of something better.
