So go to Wal-Mart and get a big economy can of tuna you know the big 5 lb can.. Spread it out and wait for the magic to happen. Head shots work best.

I have since moved and I don't have a cat problem where I live now thank god. They used to destroy everything and chasing them out of the trash cans was a nightly nuisance!
Seriously hope you're joking. Pretty pathetic if you're not.

I genuinely thought that it belonged here as it pertains to the S2000. I recently bought it and until finding fur on my top they were a passive nuisance. I could have cared less if they messed up my Ram. I just thought that others might have had critter issues with thier cars.

As I am still trying to find a civil remedy to have the cats removed, I would prefer not to break or bend any laws or ordinances by harming the cats (not that I have any ethical problem with lethal solutions). If I'm arrested or cited I loose my place as an upstanding citizen with a grievance and I would become part of the problem.

Well people hunt deer don't they? and no one goes to jail for that. You could always claim you were hungry!! The Asians consider them a delicacy. Hey I bet the guy who made your car had cat for lunch that day!

I personally agree and I hunt deer. As I said, I have no moral or ethical qualms with dispatching the cats. The problem is that I live in a liberal college town in an exceedingly liberal state. Assuming that I were not charged with cruelty, I would still be in violation of 3 local ordinances (including hunting within city limits) and an untold number of state laws that a creative SA could apply.

And yes I have considered my bow, but we have an ordinance against "missiles". Arrow or ICBM it doesn't matter to the city you're getting a court date.

Moral of the story= I'd like to defend my s2000 without running afoul of the law and considering where I live that limits me to deterrent.

Geez, the lack of respect some people have for animals is appalling... you two clowns included. Get a garage!

My wifes cousin is a big home automation fan, just last week he showed me online a
garden hose automated unit similar to this aussies(man he's got a lotta time), you plug it in and attach it to a garden hose for about 50$, it's for deer but doesen't discriminate.
I'll ask him and then post it. Give me a little time he's laid up from a bike wreck.

Dust your car with cyan pepper flakes, people who have feral cat colonies are nuts and any city/town that enables this sickness is out of its mind. Good luck and never swerve for one.
