war on neighbors cat

[tannerman007]

ok neighbors cat has decided my cars soft top is best place to sleep ..cant put in garage ...

any ideas ...

[cardiffgiant]

Take one of those plastic mats that you lay under an office chair and lay it upside down on top of the car. The cat shouldn't like the feel of the little plastic spikes.

Another option might be one of these... but I'm not really a cat person...

Aluminum foil placed on the roof, also any mouse traps you may have.

This , or a car cover should do the trick.

He won't even hear it coming..............

Car cover, and if that doesn't work, then spray a little of this on the cover. http://store.davesgourmet.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=DAUI

Trap it and let it go a long ways away!

I have the same problem and it's coming down to that. Either that or talk to the owner and have a camera pointed at your car so if the cat does cause damage you can take him to court.

Don't shoot, poison, trap, mangle, or otherwise permanently injure the cat for just being a cat. That would be bad. So there has been quite a few suggesting cat mangling I think, just to get the goat of the cat lovers. Worked like a charm too. Perhaps one of the forum members talented in electronics (you know who you are) can create an ultrasonic cat scatterer that runs on its own rechargeable battery when the car is off, and charges itself when the car is on. Mount it inside and it spits out 55 Khz at 120 db aimed at the roof for say 12 hours on a charge. Make any cat or dog uncomfortable. Seems simple enough, get it patented, get rich, and we can say we knew you when.

How about simply turning your ball cap backwards and running over it in your lifted 150 ?

A BB gun. Not the crazy strong ones but just the entry-level strength, dont want to hurt him but after a successfull shot or two its uncomfortable enough that they dont come back. Try to catch him BEFORE he's on the car, dont want claws out when he's up there

Ill try to remember that the next time a cat is trespassing on MY (fenced in) property...not!!!! If shooing worked (or pet owners were actually responsible for their pets) we wouldnt have this problem, now would we?

Exactly! A man's house & property is his castle! If you don't like what he is doing there you & your's return to your castle.

spray it with a hose. I know, not nearly as fun as guns and leg-hold traps, but probably a lot more effective.

I am not condoning any thing that will cause injury to your neighbor's cat, since I like most of them and have even had a cat or two parked in the house at times. But, like anything else, they need to know their place and sometimes need some discipline.
I used to feed my cat outside, so she could eat while I was at work. Other cats would come around and eat her food. I didn't want to injure the other cats, but I wanted them to leave her food alone.
After much thought and problem solving head scratching, I came up with this. I took an old ignition coil I had laying around and wired it to a section of cardboard covered with a grid of aluminum foil and put it in front of her food dish. The spark lead goes to one section of the grid, and the ground went to the other section of the grid. I hooked up a micro switch to the 12 volt power lead in order to cycle the power (to simulate opening and closing the points) and used a battery charger for power.
So on weekend, when I was home, I would keep watch for the free loaders. Once they were on the foil pad, I hit the micro switch and you have never seen a cat jump so high in your life.
Nothing like a little electroshock therapy to change some behavior.

He's not trespassing, your argument is invalid.

I have been zapped plenty of times while working on cars when they are running, and I have survived just fine.

If I was walking into your back yard and taking what I wanted, and crapping in your flower beds, you would certainly not be out of line....
