Default Pussy Problem!

Now that I have your attention, I need your help. My neighbor's cat keeps jumping on my car and scratching up my paint. Every morning I find fine scratches, sometimes dirt on my fender and cat fur all over. Also craps all over my lawn. Anyone know how to get rid of this problem, aside from a BB gun or crossbow. I really don't want to kill it, just stop it. I don't even know if the cat is an actual pet or one of the dozen or so strays they keep feeding. Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If there's no collar on it, call the city or county animal control to have them come by to pick it up. It's a nuisance. Otherwise, you can catch it yourself and take it to the pound.

Neither a BB gun or crossbow, but will solve the problem:


Just kidding of course. Best solution might be to talk to your neighbor. I think calling animal control on it might be difficult, but that could also work, as long as it doesn't have any tags on it.

If you know it's the neighbor's cat, then talk to them about it and ask nicely for them to control their pets. First though, call animal control to see what the local ordinances are regarding strays and pets. That way, you'll have some knowledge you can use if the neighbor becomes a douchebag.

lol @ the thread title.

i actually read this same problem on multiple other forums. cats often sleep on top of the hood of your car, because theyre attracted to the warmth. i think your only solution is a car cover.

Whenever I have ******* jumping on my car, I just invite them inside.

Ohh, cats..... never mind.

If it was me and it was a neighbors car I would talk to them first. If that dont work video tape the cat on your car and tell them your gonna take them to court for the damage on the car. If its a stray I would try and catch it and bring it to a shelter.

P.S I love my Garage.

if the cat problem doesnt stop, you could always buy a car cover for at night when you go to sleep or something like that.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm gonna start putting the cover on and maybe buy some moth balls or hot pepper. I have a dog, but I can't exactly leave her there to watch my car at night. I really don't want to start anything with my neighbor, but I'm not the only one who has a problem with this. We've called animal control in the past, but it seems like they just keep multiplying.

The cat doesn't look like it has a collar. Never had to catch this kind of pussy before, do I need to set up a trap? or should I buy it drinks and wait for it to get drunk?
