Re: Cat problems

Go to your local pet store, and pick up a bottle of spray-on scratch 
repellant. It's non-toxic, and is safe for use on furniture, so there 
shouldn't be a problem using it on a car cover.

FYI: Cats scratching is another form of marking territory, so once 
one, or several cats smells the scent, they'll keep scratching the 
same spot to either compete for territory, or keep marking it to 
affirm it's their's. So it's the same if you've got a problem with 
dogs whizzing on your wheels: You need to spray specific repellant to 
not only keep them away, but get rid of the smell so that they won't 
be attracted back.

BB & pellet guns are good against varmits, and other pests, but 
typicly won't take care of cats. Especially when dealing with 
multiple cats. They'll get hurt, but will usually just come right 
back. And nevermind the fact that YOU'RE SHOOTING BB'S AT YOUR CAR!!!

practically shredding it. There are a few light scratches on the 
facia and black bumper, but nothing too deep. Any suggestions on 
what I can do to keep cats off the car cover? And please don't 
suggest installing a garage door - that's not an option.
