Cats on vehicles HELP ASAP

[orangemm]

I, too, am a cat lover and devoted owner (or ownee, whatever the case may be), AND I have a car that I LOVE. It is my first NEW car ever, after driving clunkers and junkers all my life. I take very good care of it and it has no dings, dents, scratches, etc. on it even after almost 4 years.

My neighbor sometimes lets his cats out and they will perch on my car. I don't particularly like it, so when we see them, we'll get the hose out and squirt them.

However, this weekend we were out working in the yard and I thought I saw a leaf on the convertible top and went to get it off. It wasn't a leaf. SOMEone hacked up a hairball in two places and we had to use a scrubber and soap to get it off. Not pretty.

Don't worry, we told the owner what happened! Hate to think what would happen if that guy came across something like that.

This looks like an old thread that was brought back to life and I am wondering how things turned out. I had a neighbor who had an indoor/outdoor cat and had some of the same problems with another neighbor just as you have had. The cat was scratching his car and he showed her the scratch marks. She turned her kitty into an inside cat because of threats from this man.

In all honesty, my hubby would go into orbit if a cat (even our own) scratched his car. He would never harm the kittie but I can tell you he would be very vocal about his displeasure. Fortunately that won't happen here as mine never go outside. My suggestion to you would be to buy window fans. They are relatively inexpensive and can be put in and taken out easily. They protect your screens and provide lots of air so you won't need to close your windows and run the a/c which can be very expensive. I often put one in my bedroom window on nights when we turn the a/c off and it makes for a comfortable night. Good luck!
