Tennis anyone?

 

All creatures are placed on this earth for a purpose. CATS ARE TARGETS.
Seriously, if you can catch then on the cars a squirt gun is an effective training tool without harming them. At least it worked on the kitchen table.

 

Might want to put on a fresh coat of wax before using this, but it should work



Seriously tho, get a super-soaker and spray it when ever he/she gets on the car. Use a car cover until it is trained.

Better yet, don't let it in the garage!

 

I used a low powered BB pistol. My wife hated the idea so to be humane I had to get shot with it first. So I agreed. It stung really bad but that was about it.

Now my wife has just purchased a new car. For some reason the cat associated the pain with the car so after the first night of her new car she sees cat paw prints. She turns to me a says, "Get the gun!" I explained to her that was inhumane and she would have to be shot with the BB gun first. You could imagine my grin

OK my friend told me about the super soaker idea BUT you have to put HOT sauce in the water. This way when the cat goes to lick himself clean the punishment continues. Don't use a HUGE super soaker. You need to actually get the smallest one you can find because the cat is going to run away and you won't have time to unload the whole thing. Smaller also makes the hot sauce more ffective. There is one problem though. When you shoot the cat he will run away and may scratch your paint.

Neither of the above methods are inhumane. Well except maybe me getting shot with a BB gun, but my wife would argue that one.

Later...

 

A BB gun?? No way. Groups here in Dallas would take your cat away. It IS inhumane, no matter how low-power it is. Cat's skin is thinner than ours. Hit it upgrain from the fur and you have a wound. Not to mention the distinct possibility of hitting it in the eye.

As for the hotsauce, I'd worry about it eating through the clear-coat.

A well aimed shot of cold water in the butt/crotch area will do the trick. No chance of putting an eye out either.

 

Hmm what if I threw it?

wasn't my cat

I wonder how the neighbor would like a detailing bill every time his cat sleeps on my car?

 

I don't think that a bb pistol should be considered "inhumane". So long as it's low powered, it should only provide a little encouragement to stay off the car and shouldn't even pierce the skin. It's no worse than those invisible fences you see for dogs.

 

An invisible fence isn't going to hit it in the eye.

Good lord people

 

A friend of mine has an electronic dog alarm which when activated sounds like a very vicious and very large dog. It is attached to a motion sensor and when people walk up to his house the dog barking sounds.

That might do the trick in your garage and scare away the cat.

 

Ralphie! You'll take your eye out kid.

If you can hit a cat in the butt with a super soaker then you are good enough to hit him in the butt with a low powered BB gun.

Oh well moot point. Just informed the neighbor that I was forgoing the weak super soaker hot sauce and using full out animal mace. It even says on the label works on CATS! My opinion is the BB gun will hurt less, but hey since the label says that it is approved for cats then I guess they know more. Incase you wondering the main ingrediant is crushed Cayenne Peppers the same ones found in most hot sauce.

BTW: According to the advertising, small animal mace is an APPROVED humane repellent designed to be strong and effective with severe TEMPORARY effects.

IMHO I would rather get shot with the BB gun.

Oh yeah... the pet store guy also recommended filling a coke can with rocks and shaking it. He said sometimes that works even better. I still bought the mace.
