Cat is scratching our cars

Gloomendoom

It's new one on me too. Cats like to sleep on the canvas roof of my Land Rover but I've never seen any damage.

What exactly are they scratching?

I asked for a help not for comments e.g.. its not possible, etc.

Try to google how many others have the same problem so IT IS POSSIBLE!!!

If you want help, then you will need to provide more information. Photos of the damage would be helpful.

Have you tried coins in a can? Shake it loudly as close to them as you can when their on the car.

A cat of mine wasn't fussed about water but hated the coins in a can noise.

I have a lot o photos and movies with this cat in main role. I put CCTV to find out why I keep finding new scratches on my cars and after a week mystery solve.

Cats DO scratch cars ;
We had car in car port, neighbourhood cats like to either sit on bonnet when warm, car roof or jump from car into rafters of car port.
It's when they leap back down from rafters that claws go into paintwork and even windscreen glass.

Agree water spray, car cover, cat repellent or in our case convert car port into sealed garage.

When they jump in to the car or try to jump off they do and that is a fact.

Water, coins or repelent is is only temporary solution. I want to find somebody who solve the problem legally. Small claims court or through solicitor?

Perhaps this poster had better retract their snidey little remark then:

You honestly expect a cat to take notice of a solicitor's letter?

It may be more effective to build a garage.

If they can prove which cat it was and they know who owns said moggie I suppose they could try billing the owners for damages.. Won't do much for neighbourly relations though
