You DO realize that you have just made yourself an accessory to a misdemeanor crime, don't you? As you have suggested this course of action...should it happen, one could make quite an easy charge against you for it. You might think twice prior to making such statements in the future (at least in a public venue, anyway).

As for Anti-freeze and animals; the sick/sweet odor of anti-freeze is nearly irresistible to dogs or to cats. Anti-freeze itself is violently toxic to such animals. I have personally witnessed the death of both dogs and cats whom have been so maliciously poisoned. It is NOT pretty. One only need to watch it occur once to be disgusted by it...regardless of their own feelings toward cats in general. It is so horrifying to watch that my personal view is anyone who embarks on such behavior should suffer their own actions.

As for the mental giant who suggested that a 'BB in the butt' won't be lethal ...that is not true either. Especially in this day and age of so-called 'super bugs', the infection resulting from such a wound can quite quickly be lethal in many environments.

Show some character and dignity...have a talk with the owner and purchase a car cover. If you've spent the necessary money on the purchase of an XF then you should be taking care of it anyway. If you have to park it outside, protect it.


...sT

 

The logic here escapes me. I bought something, I park it on my driveway, but if you set your retarded fleabag loose on the world, I am honor-bound to spend a couple hundred clams for a car cover? 'Splain, Lucy.

 

SUCCESS! (I think).

I settled on the cayenne-pepper-on-the-towel trick.

I feel like Foghorn Leghorn humming "Camptown Ladies" while he paints a stripe on the ground prior to beating the dog's butt with a two-by-four.
Over a period of months, my diligence lapsed. The cat would mess up my top, and I'd redouble my efforts for a while. On rainy nights, I'd wake up to a real mess. Windy nights, I'd use a lint roller to remove the windblown pepper from the canvas. That rotten cat was as irregular in his habits as I am. But...
His hour has come.

Last night, I loaded up a black turkish towel with essence de Justin Wilson, and FINALLY awoke to fresh paw prints. One set of tracks was laid at a leisurely pace headed up to the roof. The OTHER trail was a set of paw prints headed in the opposite direction, with a distance between them indicating a land speed in excess of Mach I.
Mooo haaa haaa haaa.

I picture the miscreant making Curly "Wooo WOOO wooo wooo wooo" doppler sounds into the distance as it crosses the boulevard against the signals.

 

Oh man, That's too much. You cracked me up! Pepper = Top speed kitty. LMAO.

 

Man, you are coming across as a MAJOR heartless person that cares for nothing other then yourself. The cat is trying to survive and finds comfort and warmth with you - is that the cats fault? NO. Its the owners fault. Talk to the owner, for goodness sake!

If its such a problem, do NOT post stupid comments about wanting to trick an animal into licking a deadly substance to kill it - call Animal Control and have the cat picked up and taken to a shelter. I'm an animal lover and support many animal causes, so if I hear of a story in your area about an animal dying that matches something you posted, you better believe I'll let it be known what you posted. If you ever want to **** me off, or other animal lovers that belong to this site, then post comments like this - it'll get me/them going.

Think before you post!!!

 

I love animals. Others on this thread have suggested poison and firearms, not I. I just said this situation steams my clams.

I haven't noticed a business card on my damaged car with the owner's contact info.

Some cat owners consider the world to be their little Fluffy's cat box.

I said I love all animals - not that I LIKE 'em all.

At the risk of sounding like an over-sensitive internet nerd (I'm not), that "Think before you post" remark might better have been aimed at the posters who actually suggested the methods you accuse me of contemplating.

Plus, it's called "humor". Look in to it.

 

Here's an easier method... take ammonia and spray it AROUND your car in the driveway... about 2 feet from the car and about 2 feet wide.

This will tell the cat that the territory is claimed by something MUCH bigger.

Try it you will be amazed... AND you don't have to touch your lovely car.

EDIT: I have two cats and love them dearly. However, we had a problem with a stray near the front door always trying to fight with ours. Ammonia cured it in less than one week.

 

Cool! Will it kill grass? My car is parked near the edge of the lawn (St. Augustine).

 

This is a very cruel suggestion, and should you ever try it I hope they lock you up.

It is about as intelligent as cutting off your fingers as punishment for noise pollution on the Gibson.

If I were you iId get a psychiatric assesment done on yourself.

Sicko!

 

May I also suggest:

Thankyou for a sensible answer to the problem.

I was never a cat person until I owned an indoor (fixed) Orange Tabby He taunts and play fights with the dog. It's hillarious to watch. A cat is a social animal and makes a wonderful addition to a loving family. I actually taught the cat to kiss me...LOL!

A car cover although a tad inconvenient, is a good investment . it protects your car from the elements, keeps it clean, and prevents paint fade.

 

While most pet owners are responsible, we have idiots that allow their pets to do the same in a local childrens park.

I'm thinking of suggesting a pet station to the city, equipped with plastic bags and a waste bin.

 

I am sorry I am LOL, cats hate the smell of citrus.......you can spray some air freshner on it and they will stay away works great I love cats or you can get one of these...

 

LOL!! How do your neighborhood cats urinate on your wheels they don't lift their leg like a dog does.

 

if you do get a cover make sure its thick. My Dad used to cover his car because of a cat problem. However most cat claws are so sharp they will go straight through the cover and create razor thin scratches on the finish. The spray for upholstery to keep cats away is also good.

 

I also have two cats which our part of the family. They are brother and sister and we got them at 3 weeks old. We have had them 5 years now. They are strictly indoor pets with no claws.

 

Why should tax payers pay for a pet station? A responsible pet owner takes care of their own pet's business.

 

I used the scatmat and it works!! I bought the large size, put it on the hood of the car (I put a towel down first and put the scatmat on the towel), turned the thing to a high setting, caught the cat, then put him on the scatmat. The cat just sat there for a second then he got the shock of his life. We still have the cat, but he stays off the cars now. I also use the thing on the cover for the hot tub. The cat stays off that too!!

I gotta say though, I tried it out on myself to see how it works, and holy cripes!! I about peed all over myself! That thing hurt! LOL!!

 

Look at the bright side: a cat won't take a whizzz where it sleeps. That would be worse than the clawing on the top in my opinion.

Sorry, this thread is just too funny, but it's only funny cause it's not my car. I had left the garage door up a few inches and night and the next morning I had a calico colored soft top. Took 20 minutes with one of those sticky lent rollers to get it all off.

 

Well it may surprise you to learn that we always pick up after our dogs. As you are aware not all pet owners act responsibly.

I am willing to contruct the pet station, and supply it at my own cost. We make regular contributions to the SPCA so whats a little more?

I agree its not worth charging taxpayers a small fraction of a cent to keep our parks clean so children can play safely.

You know come to think of it, I own a 4X4 which can travel on or off-road. Why should I pay to have roads maintained for those people who drive cars?

I think you're onto something here.
