Stew Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Sensible option I think. Generally cats don't like citrus either so putting lemon peels or something round the car might help too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Pee around the car yourself it cheaper than "pellets" and buy a harpoon or pointy stick? Only joking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demolition49 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 hope it works.... my cat doesnt walk on my car, but likes to get inside the car and go for a drive with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Non Sensible Answer = Put a Dog on your bonnet or get a water hobo Sensible Answer = Try the citrus thing, of that does not work, what about a Car Cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Mcgoo Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Sensible option I think. Generally cats don't like citrus either so putting lemon peels or something round the car might help too. +1 I used to have this at my old house on the Supra, I found citrus and/moth balls worked for me. Car cover is the obviously the best option but expensive. I found a few moth balls scattered around the drive kept the cats away, but they do stink. Lemon juice is much more pleasant but obviously you have to squirt it around every night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnH Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Well I just got back from Abbey MS so that's that ticked off the to do list... next is the stone chips, I did only have 1 but now I seem to have several so a bonnet respray may be easiest, then a proper detail down at Envy (probably). At which point I want to have an internal cover anyway - but I'd prefer to get the cat out of the picture even when I do get a car cover.

JetSet Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 My Cats (5 of them) like darker colour cars and rarely if ever sit on my Blade, they will either sit on the dark red Clio or my wife's roadsters black hood. Dark cars absorb heat and UV much better and stay warmer for longer . Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 And I was ridiculed for saying cats do more damage than a car cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 On a serious note. Purified water in a bottle. When parked up wet the bonnet. Cat's don't like sitting on WET cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcupra Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 When i park mine outside and the local cats took a liking to it, i got a car cover. I notice yours is inside so you could get a cheaper one that doesnt need to be waterproof etc Cats dont like Jeyes fluid smell, but not sure you woudl want to put that inside?

Cat's don't like sitting on WET cars Cats have there own purified water, they can usually manage to cover a single wheel in one go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
