modo Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I thought I was doing the right thing by fitting a car cover, while my garage was being used for store. Building work going on. I bought a storm force cover. Excellent cover copes with the wind and rain well. BUT not CATS just noticed that they are using the cover to sharpen their claws. Nice tares in the cover now, and more annoying loads of scratches on the bodywork. Grr. I dont even have a cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Get a repellent in either spray or doggy form? Or chuck a tarp over the top of the cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modo Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 We have a dog, the cats tease him. Thought of doing a few things, but they would be illegal. Clearing the garage. Looks like a few trips to the tip is on the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Chris Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Lots of stuff cats don't like that you could put on your cover. Hang some lemon air fresheners off it like an Aussie hat (although the tarp is probably easier) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Not sure on price and as far as effectiveness, YRMV, but there's plenty of legal kitty-friendly substances that you can spray on your cover should deter them, but won't harm them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 That's odd. I've been using a cover for about three years in a road with plenty of feline residents, but never once had this problem. I have woken up a few times to paw prints on the cover (which wipe off easily) but they've never scratched it. It's pretty normal cat behaviour though - our two have wrecked the side of our sofa.

modo Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Cats can do what they like now, got the garage cleared. So now its in there, but got to watch out for mice now. Perhaps I should get a cat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
