THIS may sould unhumane to some but i think it is better than poisoning the cats or hurthing them. What i do and did is bought a animal trap that catches the animals ( cats) when they enter the cage and then i take them a few miles up the road and let them live the rest of there lives away from my truck and home.
At this time i know of only 1 black cat that i have not got around to catching but i have not had a paw print on my truck for months.

 

Have you guys that are SO fanatical about your paint ever considered a COVER???? My neighbor has three cats, and not one of them has ever set paw on my truck? And no, I don't want to cause them suffering just on the off chance they would jump up on it. I have seen one of them sleeping under the truck on several occaisions, maybe they have manners?? This neighbor also has 5 Chihuahuas, and they know better than to mess with the cats, LOL! These cats kill birds, rats, and all kinds of pests. They serve a great purpose keeping my house free of rats, and my paint free from bird poop. For these two reasons, I can forgive them for any transgressions. These are "real" cats, not your run of the mill fuzzballs.,,,,98


I found a pile of feathers, and even a squirells tail in my garage once when I came home from the road. These are the cats from hell, LOL!

 

Pellets will hurt the cat; however, BBs will sting just enough to get it's attention and let it know it's not welcome. It's amazing how you can teach neighborhood animals property lines with a BB gun.

I had a problem w/ a stray dog a couple of months ago. To make a long story short, animal control told my wife I could shoot a stray dog/cat w/ a BB gun all I want and it was fine. I just couldn't shoot it with a 'real gun' unless I felt either myself or my family was threatened.

 

My uncle still has a BB lodged under his skin from being shot with one by my dad. They were kids when it happened of course. After being hit once I decided not to carry on the family tradition of BB gun wars. ,,,,98

It doesn't just sting, LOL!

 

BB/Pellet guns are cheaper then a cover...

Plus the cat learns PROPER behavior with a BB/Pellet.

 

I have a cover... and own a BB gun...

Oh yeah, and why the hell hasn't this thread died and gone away yet?!? LOL!!

Not yet, here kitty, kitty, kitty...

 

LMAO!!

 

Cats are extremely intelligent. Some breeds like the Maine Coon Cat will actually follow you around from room to room just like a dog.
MY CATS NEVER GO OUT.
When you spend $500.00 to $1000.00 for a show quality purebred you don't let them run free.

Why would you spend that much money on a cat? It's a cat - if it dies, you throw it away and get another!

People around here have trouble giving them away!

 

I wonder if them $500 - $1,000 cats jump any different then normal cats with a pellet in the ***?

 

There's only one way to find out

I think I see an experiment in the making...

I put forth the hypothesis that the price of a cat is NOT directly related to how it jumps when shot with a pellet, or BB, in the ***.

 

Some people can be such a$$es when it comes to animal rights...What ever happened to peoples rights. If someone loved their cat so much it would not be allowed to roam the neighborhood at will. When I invest my hard earned cash in a vehicle or a paint job, I don't expect some darn cat to come and use it as a scratching post or as a place to lay it's fuzzy butt. The animal gets one warning...after that...It's on!

 

I believe in animal rights but its hard to give a cat rights to walk on my hood! I just swat them after they jump down.

Personal experience Tip: If you see a cat sleeping on your hood or roof, dont scare them! They will try to take off like a bad outta hell, leaving lots of nail marks and tiny scratches. Gently remove them, then proceed to scare the chit outta them
