Next doors cat keeps jumping on my car and its made a right mess with its muddy feet from the front to the back >:( Now we have 2 cats an they dont go on any of our cars , next doors dont go on its owners car :(
So how do i make it keep off other than covering the car in grease :-\ I bought a small water gun an sprayed it twice but it still comes back >:( >:( >:(

You have to somehow make it associate your car with an unpleasant experience without hurting it of course! ;)
So a water gun is a good idea, or just generally scaring the bejasus out of it every time you see it on your car. It'll get the message eventually if you don't give up! :y
Alternatively, catch it and wring it's neck. Job jobbed! :D

Could just get a dog ::)
-
Thing is if you scare it while its on the car it'll scratch it :( Its a friendly cat but im not having it scratching the car :(

It won't scratch a car. ::) it might mark it, but nothing that won't polish off with minimal effort.
Park the car in the shade if at all possible. They like the heat. Depending on the time of day of course.

Ill move the truck to where the Omega is an see if it stops it :-\ Meanwhile im on guard with the pump action water gun :(

Carefull you don't get water marks on it ::) ;)

My money is on the cat. They're utterly self-absorbed, stupid and stubborn.

Bloody shiny black Omega's >:( ;D ;D Maybe it just like the superior fl ::) ;D

Perhaps not through to bare metal(!), but a cat will happily slide down your bonnet, roof etc. and leave scratch/claw marks in the lacquer. Also, if you've got a PFL Omega, a cat is more than capable of leaving claw marks in the textured black plastics as it climbs/jumps up onto the car.

How about a car cover?

Pre face lift doesn't count, as, obviously, you need the superior face lift. ;)
The rest is prety much as I posted, I think you'll find. ::)

Quite. That's of no help to the Cavalier Turbo 4x4 owner with a Griffin-friendly feline, though! Textured black plastic fail!

Good job it's a 2.6 omega then isn't it. Jesus! ;D

Air Rifle c/w 2.2 Hard point pellets or German Shepherd :y
-
And what about the cat? ::) ;D
-
Put it in the next OOF curry. :)
-
Max our cat love sitting on the black Omega especially - I just let him, but then he is my cat. If he can get in he really like the parcel shelf also!
Generally speaking if we want him not to do something you have to be very persistent every time for a long time before he gives up. So you could try just keep taking the cat off the car.

Eventually the power sounder will take the cat out that'll learn it ;D

I quite like number 3. Mace the little bastard! ;D

Or you could just spray it around the general area. :y
Maybe one of these? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ3MjbJYQpU) ;)

That may not be popular if it is someone's cat :o

I have the same problem at the moment with seagulls >:( they leave sandy webbed foot marks so far no scratches the bastids next door feed the bleeders. >:( >:(
-

That may not do the trick, we have a cat and, until recently, a dog, neither of these stops a neighboring cat come into the house, treating it like it's own! Caught him upstairs recently and 'launched him' from the top stair, still comes in and helps himself to our cat's food.

Get your cat chipped and a flap that only opens for him - works brilliantly :y

Chipped? Tell me more. We did
try the magnetic style but our cat is dangerous with a collar on, tends to hang himself............ ::) ::)
-
Get the cat chipped by your vet, small chip injected in the neck. This can be used to return the cat to you if he gets lost. We then use the below which reads the chip.

Works really well :y

Surely you have some left-over antifreeze around?
My pet hat is the day-long annoing calls of the wood pigeons who never seem to shut up - and THEY are far more difficult to deal with. Of course, if anyone has a solution that works....

That is an exceptionally unpleasant way to kill anything and this is someone's pet we are talking about. >:(

I just KNEW somebody would take me seriously. Sorry Steve, let it be known that I would never actually do it....well, maybe to wood pigeons, because they are at it every daylight hour!

Good to know Ron and sorry if I took it too literally - it has happened around here and some people just read stuff online and do what they read without any thought.

Have the same flap here and it works really well :y they also make cat bowls that only let the right animal feed, handy if the dog scoffs the cat food!

Yeah, good idea, but, the outline cut in the door is a different shape to most other cat flaps. Or It's certainly different to ours put it that way. No real biggy as its a double glazed type door with a plastic lower panel which can be replaced. For £30, if I take the old one out and take it to them for size. On a Saturday. :(
We will be changing it though as other cats can just as easy get in if they also have a magnet with our current cat flap.

Surely a bucket of cold water flung over Tiddles would have the deterent effect without causing any lasting harm.

A more humane and amusing method ::)

A supersoaker yes, a whole bucket no - not sure I could throw a bucket of water at our cat before it moved anyway.
