How do I keep away cats!
#1
First of all, I live in an old house, so the Garage is too small to park my mustang in it. Instead, I bought one of those Portable Car Ports for my driveway. This works out good because it keeps the morning dew and sand off my car.
However, The neighborhood cats have found a warm place to sleep at night!!! Every morning I get up now, my car is covered with cat paw prints and cat hair. This is driving me nuts! What can I do to keep them away? Besides, tieing my dog to the car, or sitting out there with a BB Gun...
Thanks

Your best bet is a 12 gauge shotgun (guaranteed or money back).

I have a car cover too, but since this car is my daily driver... It's too much of a pain to keep putting the cover on. That's why I got the car port that is closed in on all 4 sides and I can just drive in and zip up the door... The cats just go under it.

Tell your neighbors that you don't apreciate thir cats climbing on your car at night. if they don't do anything about it, get a BB gun and stake out your yard. Wait for the cts to come around, and pop them in the rear end with it. They'll probably never come near your yard again.

Here are some ways of deterring cats from getting into gardens. With some creative thinking, it may work for your problem.

Here's an option from Ford, maybe Kevin's got the P/N.
But I don't think they have sunroofs for Mustangs yet:

If you don't want to hurt the cat get a Hav-A-Hart trap and when you catch them take them to the animal shelter. If inflicting pain is what you seek..........bait some Rat traps and place them around your car. Use the big rat traps not the little mouse traps.

There are 2 or 3 cats that I see all the time and I don't think anyone owns them because they don't have collers. The problem is, my next door neighbor feeds them so they hang around. darn them!

Well, my uncle used to think that a .45 was the quickest and most effective way to keep cats off his property period...and not that it didn't work...but I do agree with mystic...would hate to have some kid come up to my door asking why the heck his cat's headless body was lying out in my front yard!! I would get a car cover, personally...
