surround your car with sticky traps...and hope the wind doesn't blow lol

Buy a silenced .22 and take care of that s**t lol

wow, lot of crazy people in these forums...... Seriously, don't poison or kill the cat. talk to your neighbor, and if that doesn't work call animal control. If you do shoot or kill someones pet I really hope you end up facing criminal charges because frankly you would deserve it.

Well, now we have a sensitive one. I still vote car battery.

Just speaking the truth man. I had a neighbor poison my dog a few years ago.

Dog got out of the yard once and chased his cat which was also roaming free. He came to my door in a tiff (with a gun in hand) and threatened to put the dog down. Dog didn't hurt the cat, bite anyone.. just chased the cat through a yard. Well the dog got really sick anyways a few weeks later, vet said he was almost positive it was poison. Dog did nothing wrong, he got out of the yard maybe once in an entire year.

so yea, killing someones pet for something so stupid does anger me because I've dealt with crazy people like that before

I had this issue with a neighbor about 10 years ago. It was destroying all the trim on my Mercedes becasue it would slide down the windows and then use it claws to catch itself on the trim. Told her to keep her cat inside or on her property or I would have it picked up. Of course she didn't, so I had the dog (cat?) catcher come out with a trap. First night we caught what's in the photo below. Second night we caught her cat, but she got it out of the trap before animal control got there. Next night, caught it again and animal control picked it up before she got to it. When they arrived, she came out and got into a fight with them. They ended up taking her cat, fining her for all kinds of stuff (including battery on an officer) and she had to go get her cat out of 'jail'. Never saw the cat outside after that.

People say 'Well, it's just a cat. What can it do?'. That cat did about $700 damage to my car (never got the lady to pay) in just a couple of nights (brand new car). I didn't have a garage, so that wasn't an option. And I wasn't going to cover my car every time I pulled in the driveway becasue of an irresponsible pet owner.

BTW-I have a cat (inside only) and a dog (always on a leash), so it's not like I'm some animal hater or anything. I just think people should be responsible for their pets.

First night's catch:

And you'll never train a cat to stay off the hood:

This guy has it right.

Definitely understand where your going with it, the neighbor's cat seems to be a repeat offender. Realistically, I would do the same as quoted above, but sue the neighbor for damages, or just take a brillo pad to their hood as recompense.

It's amazing to see so many people risking jail time for a little dirt on their car. Cat's claws are the same density as a human finger nail, not some mythical metal that will rip holes then the car's steel exterior.
If you want to keep the cats off you cars wash it and put a good coat of wax on your car. When the cat jumps on the car and slips off and busts its azz they generally don't do it again. Of course there are stupid cats just like there are stupid people in this world.

I don't know about other states, but WA state would come down on you hard for killing an animal as horribly as some of these people have mentioned. Jail time/felony no doubt. Then again WA is a tree hugging, liberal, hippie state. Still, killing an animal just because it gets on your car? Buy a car cover, problem solved.

dandg · 12-09-2012, 11:53 AM

**** all of you low class trash who poison and shoot cats. The cat doesn't know any better. Either buy a car cover or park it in the garage.

According to Wikipedia/Cruelty_to_animals, it's not just WA

Currently, 46 of the 50 states have enacted felony penalties for certain forms of animal abuse.

The animal cruelty laws are pretty severe and can easily give you jail time and a police record, even job loss.

So its really best to catch the critter live and let the local animal shelter handle the stray animal, note some areas can even give you problems setting up live capture traps outdoors and require you to have a trapping license etc.
