hahaha good luck with that, had the same problem with the neighborhood stray before I moved. He slept there on and off for a year. Never damaged or scratched the roof only left some hair. He did leave lots of dirty foot prints but definitely never left any scratches.


^^^^ Not my cat!!!

Ok I don' t care to dive into the emotional end of this thread, but just consider
the effect of a cat "kneading " its claws into your top (leaving nicely invisible holes in the liner, covered by an intact and unharmed canvas). Now consider that cat making a trial rake of its claws across the surface as it tests the canvas for suitability as a scratching surface (leaving very visible and permanent damage to the canvas fibers).

And as a matter of fact, I lost my 1st cover to a cat, which judging by the muddy paw marks leapt onto the trunk and then to the unsupported cover placed over the open cockpit to keep it free of tree sap. The collapse of the cover must have startled the animal into engaging its all-wheel positraction top-shredding drive, for the middle of the cover was flayed beyond salvation. I hated it, mainly b/c it was the oem version 1 cover, which is no longer made but was lighter and fit better and stored more compactly.

But for the record, I make every effort to keep my kids and pets off of the neighbors' property, less they cause offence or damage, or are suspect of causing such. I expect the same courtesy from my neighbors.

Garage
Our cats sneak into the garage when the door is open and we are driving a car in and then the next day...cat paw prints all over my Porsche. argh...I'm real annoyed when I catch them slinking into the garage a sly and slick like they think I didn't see them. I can usually honk the horn and they go scrambling.

My cat loves sleeping on my car, for the heat, or the view, i don't know. Doest matter if its in the garage or outside it. I don't sweat the paint, over the years we have had cats sleeping all over the cars. There may be a scratch from them sliding off but a quick wax always fills them in…But the one thing i do worry about is them punching through the soft top. So I put a towel over the soft top and then a car cover over that. Now for my obligatory car pics.

To solve your problem maybe put one of these mats on your roof, my friend did this to protect his new leather couches and then he didn't need to even turn them on after the first few times.

Amazon.com : PetSafe 60-By-12-Inch ScatMat Electronic Pet Training Mat, Sofa, SKM-C471 : Pet Deterrent Mats : Pet Supplies







Here's him on top of the boxster roof digging in, but he can't get through the towel/cover layers
