Question
Hi, Becky.

I have five cats, who are mainly staying outside now.  They have a pet door where they can come inside to get warm or cool, though.

I can't keep the cats from jumping and sitting on my car, which stays in the garage.  (My mother-in-law even gave me a plastic snake to set on the car, but that didn't scare them).  

If I look outside and see one sitting on the car, I get my squirt bottle filled with water and attack.  One old, white Angora female hears me opening the door and runs.  She comes back after she thinks the coast in clear (lol).

I feel guilty stalking her, but it's embarrassing when I go to Wal-Mart, and my car is covered in cat hair, with pawprints all over my car and windshield!  This white cat is the worst offender.

I have some pet beds inside and out, but this cat just likes sitting on the car.

Hope you have a solution!

Regards,

Jan

Answer
Hi Jan!
I really wish I had good news for you, but I have no idea how to keep them off your car.  My neighbors cat gets on mine too, and I have pawprints all over my hood every day!  LOL.  I wish I could help you, but I really just don't know.
sorry!

Becky
