My neighbor's cat better beware when the Camaro arrives! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My neighbor's cat is an outdoor cat and takes a liking to vehicles and have found her on top of the roof of both mine and my gf's car with little dirty cat prints (no scratches yet). I just found her on top of my gf's car again this morning. She better watch out when that Camaro arrives. I'll have to pop a cap with some BB's in her hindside!

That'll solve that real quick. I'll definitely be having the cover on it alot of the time.

From my experience with cats, that won't solve it, and you're just as likely to have a BB hit your Camaro anyway! The cover will help only in that the cat's paws won't be directly on the paint...

Only solution I know of is to park in a garage!

Spray the cat with water, but you need to do it as covertly as you can or else the cat will think it's a game or challenge of some sort. If you do it secretly, the cat will start think it will always get hosed down every time it sits at that spot.

I have a water gun that I use on my two cats every time they settle somewhere they're not supposed to and it works like a charm.

No cat, no problem.

Gave up my boat for part part of the down payment and to make room for the Camaro. Keepin the critters away. In our neighborhood we have deer, bear, and plenty of coons.

Put some ammonia in two cups and place one under each axel and the smell will keep them away.

This should do the trick for indoors! People who's cats can get into the garage!

You could get the Car cover for it.

Ammonia will just attract cat and urge them to piss on your car, don't do it.

OR you could tell him/her to keep her damn cats off your property.

My dad had this issue with a neighbor where the freaking cats were scratching and peeing inside his boat. He "communicated" his displeasure clear enough and cats went away.

patriotpa · 07-10-2009, 01:23 PM

Super Soaker w/water and a little car wash soap. He won't like the taste, and it won't hurt your car.

A friend of mine had a cat come over and pee on his truck's chrome rims every day and night. I don't know how he did it but he connected a battery to the rim that the cat usually used and when he came over to pee. All we heard was squeling and yelling. Cat never came back. LOL
