Bad, bad bad puddy cats!!!!!

Only one thing to do...

Cats love cars - mine goes in the garage and heads straight to them...they like to be up high (instinct, for seeing and pouncing on prey).

My wife made me a top cover that fits over the top area when the top is up - no one makes them...they only make cockpit covers for when the top is down.

She used Sunbrella and it has velcro fasteners for around the wipers, mirrors, door handles, and padded ones that fit in the trunk to keep it secure. And is also great when we are out to use as a cover to keep the sun out/inside cool.

Who knows, maybe I can talk her into making you one since she is a big cat lover

When they were kittens I bought them a bed which they used for about a month. Now they completely ignore it. They then decided the best place to sleep was on my bed which I cannot allow since I am slightly allergic. My house has 14 bedrooms and we use to leave the windows open. So they would always find another bed to sleep on. I had to put an end to this so I closed all the windows. They then discovered the Porsche top which is now their favorite place to sleep. It rains a lot here so the car is constantly covered with little muddy paw prints. I kind of thought the little paw prints and cat hair were funny and did not care until I discovered the hole today. I just ordered a new car cover, and I am going to put a box of moth balls on top of it hoping the smell will keep them off.

I think deep down they are also Porsche fans! They know quality and chose the most expensive of all possible beds.

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:

Hi, My mom just put Soft Paws on her cat.

The cat got used to them real quick.

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.

Good solution.
