Does your car attract pussy?

If so, is there a humane way to keep them off?

Every time I see a cat on a car with a sloped back like that it's usually in the morning when the car is covered in dew and the cat is using it as a slide.

Wax might up the fun factor for the cat.

Nope. Just leads to claw scratches as it tries to hang on and not slide off.

Ask me how I know.

What worked for me was a CO2 fire extinguisher and a few late nights standing guard.

Nailed twice, ran off, and never seen again.

Yes my wife's cat USED to get on my 930...
Clear packing tape, sticky side up criss-crossed over the car one night solved whole thing

Had to splain the cats party hair the next Am to her though

Oh yeah, been there done that, still trying to figure it out.....

Darn Cat!

The other day I left for work and the cat was sleeping on the hood. I started the car and backed out of the driveway and went down the rd ~100yrds and he wouldn't jump off. Drove him home and took him off. Something about driving down the hwy at 75mph didn't seem right. Well, I didn't want to 'hear' it from the wife...

Is that baiting? Catnip is a good idea! Hey, lay it on the floor and they'll be too stoned to jump up there... I might try it!

Wouldn't help here. Our cat eats packing tape.

I've read of mats you can place on a car...delivers a mild electric shock. One or two zaps, they don't return.

Agreed...way cool beetle!

Too bad, if I pick my wife’s cat up and walk within 3 feet of my 930, she will shred me to get away!

Before this packing tape experience, if I went into the garage and saw her on the top of my 930, yelled
and tried to grab her, she then went into 4 AWD mode to get off the car, be subtle when getting them off you car.
