pussy trouble

Postby kona » Sun Feb 26, 2006 1:20 am

i used to think that Furball was delighted to see me come home,as he ran out to meet me when i drove in.
Then i discovered that a warm bonnet is far more important on these cold evenings.
paw prints and balls of hair on the front of my FTO is not the desired look im going for.
anyone else have this happen to them?

Yip ! Worst is when they slip down the bonnet and give your P&J more than a few paw prints !!

A little sprinkle of pepper discourages them. After sitting on it they don't like the tastes off there paws when cleaning and won't want to go back for seconds. A couple of days of this and it'll sort it out.

If all else fails you could try plugging your car into the nearest power outlet or super glue.

Initially I thought you guys are harsh ;) But then I remembered that I never used to mind my parents cats sleeping on the bonnet of my cars when I was living at home and only now I'm beginning to realise where all the little scrapes came from..... :oops:

So I leave my friends house one morning, hop in drive down the motorway at 120 kms, for 15 miles, then take a few technical backroads, stop in Malahide for an hour on a job. Get back in drive a few more miles, sorry kms, and stop the car for 2 hours.
Come back out of gaff and something tells me to lift the bonnet so I do and little black cat looks at me in my engine bay and runs off.
I go 'sh!te' as that's the neighbours cat from 25 miles away!---what do you do ?
Being a bit of an animal lover I had to go and tell them and of course they are away for weekend. Leave a note in their door, 'errrrgh it's about your cat............'
Make a long story short, they eventually find their cat unharmed 4 days later. 9 bloody lives but it aged me. :D

My cat story is not so nice but I know its happened to quite a few people - left the house and started the car (not the FTO) one evening and started to reverse and heard a yelp - opened the bonnet to find our cat had decided to warm himself under the bonnet and had got caught in one of the belts - it was not a pleasant clean up. Won't go into any further detail - but I now look for the cat before I start my car.

Brings a whole new meaning to fitting a de-cat to your car. :roll:
