Is it your cat?

Adopt it?

sorry if the last one is a bit morbid

It’s my neighbors. It kinda just lives at my house thought. I’m also alergic to cats.

I would but I’m alergic.

Hose? Super soaker might be more fun, though.

Just scream “FUCK OFF” out the window every once and a while. That or get a car cover for it, I’m sure the cat likes how warm the car gets in the sun.

Put a goat on it to scare the cat away.

Slay one then leave pieces of it near your cars as a warning. They'll get the message.

Talk to your neighbor about it.

Simply run out there and shoo it away (if you like claw scratches on your car).

I don’t mind it that much but I’m sure he’s messing up the paint getting up there. Or putting weight on the sunroof.

He won’t do anything to the sunroof, check and look for claw marks though. I’m guessing he jumps on to the trunk and then somehow makes his way up to the roof.

I don’t really need the car right now so if the cat can use it good. I think the cat leaving on its own will produce less scratches than if it was running away in a hurry.

Assuming that screen opens:

Tennis ball would probably dent your car, paintball would hurt the cat. Birdie should be just enough to scare it away.

He’s done it for years. I could never get the fur off the convertibles soft top. I think he liked the truck best because there was always paw prints on the hood. It doesn’t bother me that much. This is the first car I’ve owned with good paint thought.

Drive fast?

Nothing he could do about it. All he does is feed it. I’m not that bothered by it.

That should do the trick.

You totally need a sunroof.

Then you will need a cow to take care of the goat.

Didn’t you say the clearcoat was peeling or something?

Yeah. Still. I’ve owned much worse. I was able to get most of the flakey stuff off with polish and now it’s heavily waxed over. Hardly noticeable. I might repainted the bumpers next summer though. They look faded next to the body.

Still not bad for a 20+ year old car!

Then you’ll need an elephant to get rid of the cow.

Yeah. I keep reminding myself it doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s my daily and should be treated like one within reason. It is a Florida car that I’m taking with me to the rust belt though.

You should be fine, it takes a while for rust to develop in most cases :/

I plan on doing some undercoating. It’s funny when I was replacing the shocks and ball joints all the forums said that corrosion would make everything hard to remove. I didn’t even need a breaker bar.

Good deal! You could also replace some bits and pieces underneath or clean them at least.

Um, that’s spider repellent.

I’m a licensed cat whisperer, and I am sad to inform you that this cat has become one with your car. From now when you drive anywhere the cat comes with you. Like an extra radio antenna. I’d just give it a good name and accept your new cat. Any name suggestions?

His name is Gigi. I’m ok with this. I guess this is the only way I’ll be able to get past the University’s no pet rule.

I think you should change his name to... Archibald the cat

If you clay it, and put a wax on it will be harder for the cat to jump up on. If that doesn’t work you could try a super soaker.

Pepper Spray.

Paintball gun. Obviously, don’t actually shoot the cat or car. Just shoot next to the car. It’ll be enough to freak it out.

The cat’s probably climbing up with there to watch those trees for delicious chipmunks or birds. Could you park away from those trees?
