My neighbors cat keeps climbing the hood of my car!!

DirtyFrank · 12-06-2012, 05:54 PM

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 ?

and if you have pigons this system is available.

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

I see where ur usmc part of you name makes sense now.

The ar we just got my sister is .22 and it's pretty quiet already with regular ammo I'm sure it would work as well lol

yup, might have to cycle the rounds out manually with the subs but should be fine. yeah i was in the Marines, did 2 combat tours. not going to let a cat ruin what i saved up for while i was getting my *** shot off

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):

I totally understand how you folks hate cats... That's why I go test pipes!

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

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

Dang it, beat me to it....I was thinking about posting those videos too. These are probably the BEST Ford commercials ever produced.

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!

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