Cats on Cars

John,

The high response thread was removed by the powers to be.

But from memory it was suggested not to use Cat Repellant as it attracts them instead.

The best repellant suggested was to hire Willem ;)

But seriously spray cloudy Ammonia around and that works somehow.

Hope this helps

Hello John, have a look at thread 47414, it was about cat's pee & had a big response. Good luck

I recall on a television vet show them saying not to use ammonia because it smells like a cat's pee place and it will attract them to pee there. He suggested using whiskey i think.

Animal drop gate cage traps work the best, and waving goodbye after you have dropped them off at the local council pound makes it all worth the effort ;)

Gday,
Had one recently....
Finally caught it in the front yard....
Belted a big rock at it and smack, got it!
Then I realised it was hit! and hurt!
While trying to get it out of the yard I realised there was a heap of people across the road waitong for the bus watching.(6:45am)
Then a cop car pulls up out the front....He reckons I missed!
Havent had the cat back!!!!
Cheers

My Cat would never do that on my car

a 12 gauge :o)

Ring the council, they may have traps you can borrow. I rang my council for advise and they said trap them, the bluddy things were pizzen all over the property and making noises on the roof at night, on the car, they really upset me when they started spraying the bbq every night [mad, grrrr] I took the 6th to the pound this morning and still two or three to go, problem nearly solved with the councils blessing :)

John A,
I have an idea you see cars that have these protectors on them to keep the elements off do you think we could run a small copper wire thru the fabric say 5cm apart and put a low amperage current thru. some sort of regulator and just connect to car batteries. cat/possum gets on car get a mild shock gets off.
Over to the experts.
When i was growing up our cat use to get into the engine bay to stay warm one day we found that cat a few blocks from home with her stomach ripped apart (missing for 3 days) she got chewed up by the fan blades and spat out. Good news she lived to the age of 17 human years.

Regards Stephen.

John,i used orange peel & it worked relly well.Just put it on top of your air vents outside under the windscreen.
Cheers Bob.

Thanks everyone for your replies; many useful; even more hilarious!!

Here's hoping i can "discourage" these nocturnal visitors!!
