There is a cat that lives outside of my house that walks all over my element everynight.

I wash my almost every because my E likes to be clean, but this stupid cat leaves its nasty little foot prints every where.

I don't want to take the cat to the pound or anything I just want it off my car

Funny as this may sound, does anyone recall this exact same question a few years back?

I remember a couple of suggestions - from an electroshock mat to keeping a dog in the car overnight.

Maybe staying up all night and waiting for the bugger with a supersquirter?

Once i finally stopped laughing ......



I thought of a car cover......

Have you thought about sprinkling dry cat food on a few of those sticky mouse trap pads and putting those on your car at night? Won't hurt the cat but will drive it crazy trying to get it off. Sorry, my evil mind is at work today.

I know cats don't like amonnia. try a small jar with an small hole in the top. pull a piece of cloth or rope to act like a wick.fill with amonnia. cats don't like the smell of amonnia. just placing near your E , may be enough to keep them off it.

install a dog on the hood.

A little know fact is that the natural enemy of the house cat is the orange, rather than the dog, so cats generally hate the smell of citrus. Some orange juice or orange peels scattered around the vehicle may help. Or, if you really want to freak it out, try grapefruit. To a cat, it looks like an orange on steroids!

Perhaps the OP could lose the ABM and get a Tangerine Metallic and the cat goes bye-bye?

Stop hiding your "cookies" in the E overnight. I hear cats like cookies almost as much as catnip.

Did someone say

COOKIES?????

Oh, that would explain why Cat and ORANGEE are always going at it :-o

They sell cans of cat repellent at Petsmart. It will keep the cat away without hurting it.

"cookie" consumption is why there are 4 page threads on topics like wipers or floor mats.....:twisted:

solution found.

ROFL

OMG! That has to be it.

Remember, the cat is also scratching your finish with its claws. Tangerine Metallic is one color that cats do not like to jump on. :D

Regards,

I will have to try the orange peel thing... I don't keep any "cookies" in my car... if I was a cat I guess I would want to sleep on the E too. This cat doesn't sleep on my boyfriends car just mine...

Oh yeah, I remember. But as I recall that person wanted to park their E in the garage and to put their cats out there too.:shock:

just get yourself a hot tin roof and be done with it.

I'm not a Southerner....and I don't "drawl"....y'all.


I drool.

Strap a Pit Bull to the Hood.

This should also keep the little kiddies away too.

:lol:

Lin-z, aren't you glad that you reached out the to the EOC for help with this problem :rolleyes:

Won't fly paper make the cat stick to the E?

Guaranteed to work.

They'll probably come off at high speed.

This thread makes me think of Adam West on Family Guy and his cat launcher.

Take away her cookies................I just had to CAT !!!!

Put a two-way radio in the car overnight, windows slightly cracked. When you see the cat totally relaxed on your car at night, sleeping even better......make a very loud sound through your radio. One of the alert signals would do. The cat will freak and probable find some other, more welcoming place to crash. Might have to do this twice. Results may differ. Let us know.

bb-gun works best in my neighborhood. Otherwise, just pour some type of chemical like bleach around where you park and they may not come back

Ok, because that one actually sounded serious, I have to say something.

Do NOT even THINK about shooting cats with bbguns or any other kind of gun... not cool. The only thing they should ever be shot with is water from a squirt bottle, which they hate so VERY much, it's actually quite effective.

BBguns = very very not cool.
Squirt water bottles = effective, but not unnecessarily sadistic and abusive.

You're right... **SIGH** Pellet guns work better and are more accurate. I'd hate to accidentally hit my E. (Seriously)

Cat problem?

Get some mice

Do a google search on "Cat Trap". You can buy them fairly cheap, or rent one from your local Humane Society.

Drop the captured cat off at the Humane Society and hope one of your close neighbors don't adopt that same cat. Shooting them is kind of a waste because they just don't taste very good.

Also, and the Humane Society told me this, if you can find a source of Mountain Lion urine (I guess this is actually sold) a couple of drops sprinkled around your property will keep every critter away (but you might end up with other Mountain Lions sniffing around).

Hi! New to EOC. Came across this thread. I've found that an automated cat deterrent works best.(Google this and all kinds of links come up.) The one I use is called "Tattle Tale". It's a vibration alarm that you can set for short or long range and lets out an annoying screech that will startle the heck out of any cat or dog. I orginally bought it as a training tool to keep my dog off the couch and it worked great. Doggie has since gone to heaven and now I use it during the holidays to keep the kitties out of the christmas tree. Automated deterrents can get pricey, but may cost less than a car cover.

P.S. In case anybody is wondering, doggie did not pass away from a heart attack induced by being startled! :rolleyes:

Simple, catch it and just cut of its tail and your problem is solved. Easy.

I think that if you buy her a nice dinner and lay the seats down, you could get Cat off the hood......Oops, wrong Cat!!!!!!!

Right. Like there's anyone on this feline abusive thread I would spread my paws for.

One can always dream, Cat!!!!!!!!

Oh, that would explain why Cat and ORANGEE are always going at it :-o

she is a gentrified house cat, I'm just an ole barn cat.........

... but this stupid cat leaves its nasty little foot prints every where.

If all you want to do is keep the foot prints off your E, Have you tried getting the cat a set of Gucci, Soft Soled Slippers?

I suggest "Rejex" wax, if dead bugs won't stick to this stuff a cat should slide right off.:D Drew:)

All of the citrus ideas are good, but you could also try to put something on the E that the cat won't like to step on, such as something sticky etc. For example you could lay a blanket down and then on top put some aluminum foil, I guess cats hate the sound when they step on it. Something along those lines. Try this link.

was this thread prophetic???

I guess we all await the second coming

1. Dig a pit all around your E
2. Fill the pit with sharpened sticks (pointing up)and oranges
3. Cover the pit with small sticks and dry leaves.
4. Hilarity will ensue.
5. For extra security, shoot the cat with a large bore rifle. Don't miss.

I'll be the one to say it... Shoot the miserable beast, than leave the carcas on the owners front doorstep. I have a real problem with these people who "own" cats and let them roam the neighborhood at all hours. When I catch fluffy on my car or using my garden like it's personal litter box, I find that an air rifle pellet goes a long way to discouraging kitty. Worst case scenario, you get a new pair of fur lined gloves. :evil:

I think the answer to this problem is piss her off with a nasty email.

Piss Around The E .if It Worked For Them Thar Dopers Up In Mendo Vs Deer. In The Persuit Of Flowered Indica Strains ,its Gotta Be Worth Try Against Them People Eating [when Dead] *****CATS Eh?
Personally I Like The Damage/scratches The *****CATS Cause.....it Makes My E ''look Mean!!!!!!'' [the Movie Slapshot] When The Bus Driver Was Smashing The Bus And Was Asked Why Are You Smashing the Bus For Mr. Bus Driver ? Remember?

You could wire a sensor to a tape/cd player - the sensor could set off a ferocious dog recording when the cat nears the E...

(I should quit it , right?) :confused:

Hi. I used to visit some friends in Florida who had four cats. One of the cats loved to climb all over my black Infiniti QX-4 that was known lovingly as Darth Vader's station wagon. I never saw the cat on the vehicle but the evidence -- paw prints and hair -- was overwhelming, and pointed to the only dark kitty in the pride.

One morning, we woke up early, and there was the offending kitty lounging on top of the QX4, getting a better view of the suburban tundra. (My friend excused her cat's behavior by reasoning that wild cats such as lions climb mounds to get a better view of surrounding areas. Better a slightly overweight house cat than a lion, I replied. Actually, the cat was FAT, but have you ever shared a 100% truthful opinion with the mother of an ugly child?)

Anyway, I digress. I grabbed my keys and gave the PANIC button on the remote its first and only use. Truth be told, whatever scratches resulted from kitty's explosive departure were well worth it because we didn't stop belly-laughing until after lunch, and we still chuckle today. Never again did fat kitty climb the QX-4 mound.
:evil:

I have tried the water trick with my cat. IT doesn't work, as I have an aqua cat. IT will climb into teh shower with me and scares teh crap out of my girlfriend when it does it to her. I was washing my E the one day. THe cat decides to sunbath on top of it. I figure I will shoot teh cat with teh hose, that would get her off. That was the wrong idea, cause now every time I was my E, my cat wants to come outside and getr sprayed with the hose. I have found loud noises scare the bejesus out of her. The panic alarm on my E seems to work as she remembers not to climb it, unless she sees I do not have my keys on me.

Sounds like a new TV show,
the Adventures of Aqua-Cat!

Try paprika, or moth balls.

catch the cat and give it a ride in the element:evil:
