Birds: Try the blue tape from below... just a little piece instead on the mirror...


Cats on hood: Cats hate to have things on their paws, especially things that are sticky or wet. If you've ever seen cats get their feet wet, they immediately shake their feet vigorously and then lick it to clean it...SOOO....I put out some blue tape (yes, it comes from blue tape trees ) on the hood with the sticky side up. I came back the next morning and found that there were lots of little paw prints on the tape, which was also kind of messed up/balled on the side. There were also a couple hairs on it. I put it out again the next night, but it was untouched. I haven't had a problem yet.

(If I did, I would escalate to duct tape...and maybe write a message on the back (GET THE EFF OFF MY CAR) for the owners that would have to unwrap their cat from the giant mess of duct tape. Sorry if this comes off as anti-animal lover. I have a Chow Chow and love dogs and cats. I hate that other people's cats leave dirty paw prints all over the windows and hood...along with the potential of scratching the paint.

i had cats going on my car here at work (we have a ton of strays that live in the bushes here that people feed, ugh)...

They would run to my car in the morning because it's warm...

Well, one morning i went inside, clocked in, walked back out... hit my panic button setting off the alarm. The cats on my hood jumped off and the nearby ones ran away. I let it go for a bout 15 seconds...

no cats since

you just need one of those big fake owls for a hood ornament...
Hmmm...you think this would work? I can maybe print a owl on a piece of paper & tape it to my window! HAHAHAHA

Alright, I'm gonna do the mirofiber towel thing for now. I hope that damn bird doesnt use it as toilet paper.

I just found out that my neighbor saw the bird. It's a small bird that chills on other peoples side mirrors too. It actually looks in the mirror & taps it with its beak; over & over as if he was trying to break the mirror.

I can't believe as its doing this they end up taking a sh*t too.

Put down some barbed needles that stores use under their overhangs like target or home depot uses. But seriously use plastic wrap or sock I guess, sock would look akward in the parking lot but nothing really would anyway.
