I have the same situation with a stray.

SouthArk370Z 12-06-2012 04:47 PM
I don't like cats very much (OK, not at all), but using antifreeze falls under "cruel and unusual punishment" in my book. It's a slow and painful death. I have no problem with a quick, clean kill (if extermination is necessary), but most poison, especially antifreeze, is bad karma. YMMV

In this case, the wrong type. :mad:

Try this...
 
I had the same problem before I bought a house with a garage. I used this: CatStop.

It seemed to do the trick. I angled it in a way that it covered the entrance to my carport, and the paw prints and cat hairs never came back. This wont work on really old cats because they don't have such great hearing, but it works like a charm otherwise. The only downer is that it gets set off by any motion, so it goes through batteries pretty fast. I just figured it was a small price to pay to protect my paint...

Wait till they sit on your roof, then put their claws out to stop them sliding off the hood and you will have 8-10 long vertical scratches in your clear coat in multiple places.

Best and legal way to solve the problem, is live capture and turn it into the pound.

now though with my Z i have a garage, only had the issue once... well that and left some cat food outside spiked with acetametaphine as they can't process out as much as we can and they OD somewhere else.
you have any relatives in the Virginia Beach area ? Last name of Vick ?

kellyefields 12-06-2012 06:00 PM

nope my ancestors were local and didn't come over on ships. live traps also work well then you can silently dispatch your prey. if you're feeling creative a ruger mkIII and some pvc pipe, couple of cardboard baffles and some rws subsonic ammo makes for a silent swift kill as well :tup:

I hear you OP, it's tough keeping that pussy away. It's unfortunate the pussy left hairs behind as well.

Ring the driveway in how ever many you need to build a secure perimeter(you buy these online):

surprisingly with the one he got the awful 22 shells arent the problem it's the mags. as with any .22 the rounds arent held tight in the mag and sometimes come up ****-eyed and cause a problem but it's a fun gun.

and yes fuck that cat ruined what you worked for :tup:

and i got family in the military so i know how you feel. i heard about it all before and thank you for your service sir :tiphat:

So needless to say, I wanted these cats gone! Well, about five cans of tuna soaked with antifreeze slid under my car later, the cats were no longer to be found.......
I hate cats!
:iagree:

This is what I meant when I said chemicals and food. I hate cats.

surround your car with sticky traps...and hope the wind doesn't blow lol

cbrboy86 12-07-2012 04:49 PM
Buy a silenced .22 and take care of that s**t lol

mhcoss 12-09-2012 05:39 AM
wow, lot of crazy people in these forums...... Seriously, don't poison or kill the cat. talk to your neighbor, and if that doesn't work call animal control. If you do shoot or kill someones pet I really hope you end up facing criminal charges because frankly you would deserve it.

SS_Firehawk 12-09-2012 05:50 AM
Well, now we have a sensitive one. I still vote car battery.

Just speaking the truth man. I had a neighbor poison my dog a few years ago.

Dog got out of the yard once and chased his cat which was also roaming free. He came to my door in a tiff (with a gun in hand) and threatened to put the dog down. Dog didn't hurt the cat, bite anyone.. just chased the cat through a yard. Well the dog got really sick anyways a few weeks later, vet said he was almost positive it was poison. Dog did nothing wrong, he got out of the yard maybe once in an entire year.

so yea, killing someones pet for something so stupid does anger me because I've dealt with crazy people like that before

I had this issue with a neighbor about 10 years ago. It was destroying all the trim on my Mercedes becasue it would slide down the windows and then use it claws to catch itself on the trim. Told her to keep her cat inside or on her property or I would have it picked up. Of course she didn't, so I had the dog (cat?) catcher come out with a trap. First night we caught what's in the photo below. Second night we caught her cat, but she got it out of the trap before animal control got there. Next night, caught it again and animal control picked it up before she got to it. When they arrived, she came out and got into a fight with them. They ended up taking her cat, fining her for all kinds of stuff (including battery on an officer) and she had to go get her cat out of 'jail'. Never saw the cat outside after that.

People say 'Well, it's just a cat. What can it do?'. That cat did about $700 damage to my car (never got the lady to pay) in just a couple of nights (brand new car). I didn't have a garage, so that wasn't an option. And I wasn't going to cover my car every time I pulled in the driveway becasue of an irresponsible pet owner.

BTW-I have a cat (inside only) and a dog (always on a leash), so it's not like I'm some animal hater or anything. I just think people should be responsible for their pets.

First night's catch:

And you'll never train a cat to stay off the hood:

This guy has it right.

SS_Firehawk 12-09-2012 07:27 AM
Definitely understand where your going with it, the neighbor's cat seems to be a repeat offender. Realistically, I would do the same as quoted above, but sue the neighbor for damages, or just take a brillo pad to their hood as recompense.

Nailzs 12-09-2012 09:01 AM
It's amazing to see so many people risking jail time for a little dirt on their car. Cat's claws are the same density as a human finger nail, not some mythical metal that will rip holes then the car's steel exterior.
If you want to keep the cats off you cars wash it and put a good coat of wax on your car. When the cat jumps on the car and slips off and busts its azz they generally don't do it again. Of course there are stupid cats just like there are stupid people in this world. :shakes head:

:iagree: I don't know about other states, but WA state would come down on you hard for killing an animal as horribly as some of these people have mentioned. Jail time/felony no doubt. Then again WA is a tree hugging, liberal, hippie state. Still, killing an animal just because it gets on your car? Buy a car cover, problem solved.

dandg 12-09-2012 11:53 AM
**** all of you low class trash who poison and shoot cats. The cat doesn't know any better. Either buy a car cover or park it in the garage.

According to Wikipedia/Cruelty_to_animals, it's not just WA
Quote:
Currently, 46 of the 50 states have enacted felony penalties for certain forms of animal abuse.

zmojo 12-09-2012 01:31 PM
The animal cruelty laws are pretty severe and can easily give you jail time and a police record, even job loss.

So its really best to catch the critter live and let the local animal shelter handle the stray animal, note some areas can even give you problems setting up live capture traps outdoors and require you to have a trapping license etc.

Three behaviors — bedwetting, cruelty to animals and firestarting, known as the Macdonald triad — were first described by J.M. MacDonald as possible indicators, if occurring together over time during childhood, of future episodic aggressive behavior.
