Reply to: Where can I get a stuffed alsation?

[Paddy]

A cat at my lodgings is obsessed with my car, and no one else's it seems. It may be the colour (plum) or perhaps the shape (Jag), but it isn't the warmth from the engine, as one might expect, because this darned cat tramps all over the roof in the middle of the night long after the engine has cooled.

He (or she - not sure) even sleeps on the roof, and the other morning, after it had been raining in the night, there were paw prints and small scratches all over the bonnet.

So anyway, I thought the most practical deterrent would be a large dog in the back, perhaps a blow up or stuffed one. If cats are scared of sheep, I could easily get hold of a blow up sheep, or perhaps a life-sized blow up doll?

But any other ideas would be welcome.

The problem can be solved with a length of Velcro and some T-Cut.
Attach the Velcro straps around your right hand and secure the cat to the straps.
Apply T-Cut to the cat fur and polish the car vigorously.
Result; one shiny car and cat reluctant to return.

What's wrong with wearing this and running around barking for a bit?

Ironic how you can get pussy to crawl all over your...Jag.

Really? Every garage i've been to uses what can only be described as Homeopathic screen wash

Does that mean a Polish worked has pissed in it???

Just nail the cat to a tree with copper nails. Sorted!

Trouble is so do I.

A couple of years ago the garage servicing my car topped up the windscreen washer tank with an unspeakably vile concoction that smelled just how I imagine lion's piss might, and I practically retched each time I had to use it.

Seriously though, cats aren't stoopid and would clock it was an inanimate object instantly (and would probably wipe their bum on your door handles to show their disdain of such a cheap trick).

But wouldn't they get suspicious if I walked out with one under my arm?

Just put it on a lead and make vague woofing noises as you walk out and you'll be fine

Give Mike Harding a call.

Visit the museum in Tring, I'm sure they must have some stuffed dogs in there

Spray it with Lion piss, they steer clear of that.

So reluctantly, I'd rather have the rampaging cat and proper windscreen washer fluid, that smells like fairy liquid.

Smear cat food over everyone elses cars.
