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.

This is the funniest block of dialogue that I have ever read on this forum. Is Dobro still around these days? Literary skills are genius.

Re: The mangy cat vs my convertible top
An Air-Soft gun(similar to paint ball, but smaller ammo and no paint) always does the trick. It won't injure the animal and the 7 Feet of Hang time they get when they jump up is worth more than a few laughs. Do that a couple of times and it will get the message... And before the PITA fan bois get on me, these Air Soft guns are designed for use in war games against other humans. They STING LIKE CRAZY, but don't break the skin(most of the time) On a furry animal, the damage would be even less, but still effective...

Re: The mangy cat vs my convertible top
I LOVE the cayenne towel idea. My 23 pound whale of a long haired blond cat decided it was time to roost on my srt-6 roadster top--and then the same problem----plucking his nails into that beautiful fabric.......so---tonight he has a choice! Lay in his new 80 dollar heated cat bed in the garage OR spend the rest of the night YOWLING because he just licked off some Stubbs Barbeque rub/ Cayenne pepper/Black Pepper/ Paprika / Greek seasoning and a touch of Montreal steak seasoning all bedded down in my new invention (to hold it all together for ages on the towel) about 5 ounces of sprayed on wd-40! if I was a cat---tomorrrow I would sign up for claw counseling because crime doesnt only not PAY---it BURNS LIKE HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
