Help with cats

OK, I know this has been posted before so don't hate me . These are my cats also, so no lethal options please. Any tips on how to keep them off the car? This just came to thought because I'm done with finals, now back at home and never thought about the cat scratches till now . And yes I'm searching for it , just no luck

Car cover is going to be your best option. Between their natural curiosity and the heat your Camaro offers during a cool time of the year there really isn't any other option.

Good luck!

Re-locate.

You or the cats.

The cats would be much easier.

Other than that, a cover is about all you can do.

You can buy dog and cat repellent at any hardware store or home center, Its really effective, I use it to keep from having my trash bothered while outside wating for the refuse truck......

Just don't use a tight fitting cover, you will do more harm than good putting it on and taking it back off all the time ...

You defintiely don't need to get Cat Scratch Fever on your Camaro.

I'd also worry about them peeing on the paint too. That will RUIN a paint job.

Keep the cats out of the garage and/or let them out on a leash.

I hate it when the dumb-a** neighbor lets their cat run unleashed and leave footprints on my car and everyone else's in the neighborhood.

Might have to look into that, because as much as the car cover looks like good idea, don't think I'd like putting it on/taking off each time I need to go somewhere.

Donnie: He peed on your Camaro?
Walter: You're out of your element, Donnie!
TheDude: He peed on my Camaro!
Walter: That Camaro tied the garage together!

I miss the old days when your fan was driven off of the water pump and cats would sleep next to the warm radiator...then when you started it up in the morning, that one last meow!!
