I don't have a cat but there are enough strays everywhere to go around. All I have to say is be careful not to park the car with the top down. I had a Miata that a cat sprayed the inside of and it was the most putrid odor and impossible to get out. I finally got rid of the smell when I spilled some coffee in the car. I guess it absorbed the smell.

I have heard about some light electric shock you can put on the car that will repel animals, but I don't know if it's legal or actually exists or is just something that is urban legend.

Now if only someone could tell me how to stop my dog from going to the bathroom in the living room....

I beg to differ.

THAT video is NOT funny in the least.

My only hope that it was contrived and not authentic. In all honesty, I really cannot tell for sure.

It's trash like that that makes me question, if only briefly, the wisdom of unfettered freedom of speech.

You can't be serious!
There's no way a sunroof could move fast enough to catch a cat.
But it was funny as hell to all of us non cat-lovers.

I already conceded that the vid could well be contrived, but admitted that I wasn't positive one way or the other.

The sunroof was only open slightly wider than the size of the cat's head. (Cats have been known to insert their heads into tight spaces if they're curious about what might be inside. They are inquisitive animals.) The roof would only have to close a centimeter or two to create an opening slightly smaller than the cat's skull. Skulls being solid bone and not flexible/compressible tissue, once that happens, there's no escaping.

And the way that cat reacted, then slid off the car (doing a flip over the side view mirror), that looked like a dead cat. (Of course, it could have been road kill, or come from some other source.)

The strongest piece of evidence against the vid being real is the fact that vertebrae, skin, fur, trachea and the other miscellaneous soft tissue making up the neck of an animal is not exactly easy to transect.

I really do HOPE the video was in fact the creation of someone with a lot of time on their hands. I really don't have anything against people who don't like cats (to each his own), as long as they don't intentionally swerve their cars to run them over, or toss unwanted kittens from a moving vehicle, or commit any of the other sadistic atrocities I have personally witnessed in my time.

I'm pretty certain that is a professionally made commercial, therefore not some real video of a cat being decapitated.
