Left my windows cracked a little last nite and a damn stray cat got in the truck and scratched the hell out of my dashboard. Dash is tan and now it has black scratches all over the dash and he scratched the hell out of my steering wheel. I HATE CATS!!!!! Couple scratches on the seats but not to bad. 12 gauge shot gun loaded and ready for that damn cat next time i see him.

 

Thank your lucky stars it wasn't a squirrel.

I once left a Jag Coupe in storage with the windows open a crack for air to move.
The thing had taken a bite out of virtually every leather surface and headliner, and bitten right through the rear armrest into the trunk where it made a nest for itself...the stench was horrendous.

However when the time came to start the car the news was even worse. It had been into the engine and chewed right through the main wiring loom in about the most inaccessible place possible !!

It cost thousands to get everything put right...and that was pounds not dollars !!

 

contact your insurance yet? sounds costly to replace the dash

 

Dude ive had problems with cats before. For about $40 bucks go down to homedepot and get the haveaheart ratcoon trap and put some bacon grease or what ever over the food you use. Its cold out so the cats love the smell of it! I once shot a cat with my dads lever action .357 mag marlin right thur the upper chest and out his back crazy looking. The real crazy part is there was a park near where my dad lived and it was in a city of 100K people but the shot was from 5 yards away and pointed right into the front lawn we had to wait about 10mts to get are kill cause people where looking around and stuff in the park LOL LOL

 

And I expect you were proud of yourself !!

As proud as you are to write anything that makes sense !!!

 

i thought about it, dont really have the deductable right now (just bought a programmer last nite) thinking of getting a real nice dash mat and seeing if that will look good.

 

i don't like dash mats. I would call your local dealership and see if you can get dash touch-up paint and start there

 

Hey good idea!!! calling them right now

 

I shot a cat once while deer hunting. Through my scope, it looked like Bobcat. Went to inspect it, and discovered that it was a bobtail kitty cat. Big difference though Anywho, the quail were pleased by my actions. PETA never knew.

 

Or sand down the dash and paint it

 

How did you know

 

I think the dash on the KR is the same color as my truck's interior (medium parchment). If so, this is supposed to be color-matched to our interiors. Never tried it and don't know how good it matches, but for almost $30 after shipping, it better work good!
