Haha now that is awesome!

Shoot it with the bb like said, trap it, get a dog, or you can just find the local chinese resturant and hire one of the cooks to take care of your problem.

Trust me i know how you feel.......In our apartment complex, there is a SWARM of cats that linger around. (cats everywhere in Hawaii) The crazy cat lady just happens to have the parking spots next to ours. When she comes home, 10+ cats always run up to her car. Never fails i find 2 or 3 on my car.

this is about to reach its climax soon, if it hasnt already.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I did not really want to kill the cat unless it became a bigger issue. I actually just chased the cat away a few times when he would get near my car haha, it's been a few days and I have not seen the cat or waken up to see cat prints on my car. So I think I scared the cat enough to where it knows not to get near my car.

Hopefully that ends the cat issue.

The reason you don't see him is b/c I've got him in jail but he is about to make bond so watch out!!!!

no wonder cats are called P*****.

The Cat is back!

This time it's personal!

On Tuesday when I was heading to work I notice sports on the hood, right next to the window when I looked closer I could see the cats paws. Today I saw the paw prints again, as I looked towards my neighbors house I see the cat looking right at me licking his paws lol

Like he was mocking me!

Watch the movie "Despicable me". The part (within 15 minutes into the movie) when "Gru" is talking to his neighbor and giving him the complaint about a dog.
Gru: Hello, Fred. FYI. Your dog has been leaving little bombs in my yard, and I do not appreciate it.
Fred McDade: Oh you know dogs... they go where they want to go.
Gru: Unless they're dead.
[laughs]
Gru: Just kidding! Oh, though it is true.

Don't ask me how a 39 years young man knows those lines.
