Craig782 Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 OK ive got myself an issue with a cat!!!!! The bloody thing uses my other car as a ramp to next doors garden wall! Anything I can buy or spray on the car to deter the little F@%ker? Anyone come across a normal cleaning product that they dont like or something. The little paw prints on a freshly cleaned or waxed car is driving me mad Quote
S1 HNK Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 shoot it seriously though, i dont think theres anything you can do. I suppose a car cover but it would be a pain putting it on every night Quote
martinmac Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Having worked in a garden centre selling many of the latest "miracle" products to deter cats such as Lion Dung ( ) the simle nswer is no. Put a small dance on top of the wall and the cat will have to find another route. Quote
srobrien Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Hook you car up to the mains electric so the bodywork is electrolised. R Quote
Chris`I Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Do as they do oop narth and cement some broken glass to the top wall. That'll teach the fecker Quote
Sarnie Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 Anthrax mixed in a bowl of milk under the front bumper Quote
Maccaman Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 My cat has been getting his own back on me lately. If I put him out & don't let him back in he just goes and finds some mud, then walks all over my bonnet. The little poppet Quote

ZeddZ Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 If you can catch it with a hose or a water pistol when its on your car,that should keep it away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JsSIVeVbSU Quote
Craig782 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 Its always night time otherwise i would unleash the dog but knowing my dopey mut, he would probably run a mile not the cat! So do none of these garden products work???? Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Get yourself a big tin of cheap curry powder and sprinkle it around everywhere the cat goes. They hate the smell and they hate it even more when it gets on their feet and they try to lick it off Quote
Chesterfield Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Try a citrus based degreaser under the car and perhaps along the top of the wall that it is jumping to. Cats hate citrus, so it should encourage it to find a different route. Quote
Stew Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Definitely try the citrus route! Orange peels are good too, just leave then around where you don't want puss visiting! They are the best things to try. A good soaking is an idea but you have to get it before it goes near the car or the claws will be out! Quote

H5 Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Having 2 cats I had this problem when I first got them. A quick spray of water when they are in the vicinity tends to deter them. Don't drench it, just spray it so it gets the idea. Quote
Tim S Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I've found one of these: http://tinyurl.com/cdxfr7 works well with my own cat, and he doesn't know it's me . However it does have a wide arc of spray and will get you, the postman, the bin man etc. too. Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Sprinkle pepper around your car and they wont go near it, a nice strong one... You can also get a sprt of sonic blaster that does the trick, you cant hear it but the cat can.... scares the bejesus out of them Quote
CaptainSensible Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Gents, you are approaching this from the wrong angle. If you want to stop a cat walking on your car you need to offer it something more appealing to attack. I suggest planting some cat mint in your garden, they go nuts for it. Quote

My childhood cat (RIP) used to spend all day in that stuff! Quote
madmart100 Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 or you could do what a friend of mine did to stop his nieghbours cat crapping in his garden. He dug a hole, caught the cat buried up to its neck and then cut the grass. hey presto no more cat poo, or in your caes no more jumping on your car Quote
