It depends if the cat is mine or the neighbors.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.

Is it poop or vomit?

I've got scratches down the rear flares on my turbo from my cats walking on the car only to discover the body slippery to air molecules and felines as well. I was pissed, but my car's a driver. I'll live, as will the cats.

At least keep a cover on the car!

Cats get jealous.

I tried a car cover. The cats would just try to squirm their way under it (i.e. between the cover and the car). They had become accustomed to taking naps inside the cabin and were looking for an open window. Unfortunately they would use their claws to help them explore under the car cover.

Hugh, you're a Disney guy. I watched Cars 2 for the first time this weekend. In it, Mater declined to get his dents fixed (as did Holly Shiftwell at the end of the movie), citing that each one was a reminder of an experience he had with his best friend, Lightning McQueen. Not that I'm into destroying the paint and finish on my car, but now that the scratches are there, I try to rationalize that one day my cats will be long gone, and I'll still have those faint/buffed scratches to remind me of them. And the time my daughter, at age 3, tried to help me wash the car by tossing the hose (with heavy metal nozzle) on top of the roof and dragging it across.

Yep, only a car...a little soap & water & you'll never know the difference.

Neither, it's just a little puke. Man-up and get your wife to clean it off.

Cat barf. I posted this in jest. For some reason the cat likes to sit on the Targa top, fortunately she doesn't sharpen her claws on it.

Dave, reminds me of a joke, "How many men does it take to muck out and outhouse? None, that's women's work!!

Put one of those timed air-wick sprayers on top. Bonus points if it has a motion sensor. Keeps cats away

I suspect you'd have gotten a lot more votes if it didn't have public results.
