Stray cats

[Igovert500]

So I'm up at college, and we practically live in the proverbial ghetto. So we have a small parking lot out back, and I love the off-street parking...only problem is the freaking stray cats. Either our neighbor has 5-10 cats that are almost always outside, or some strays hang around her personal cats. Either way, I come outside in the morning, and either catch them sitting on my car, or see their footprints all over...now I wouldn't mind if they did this to my 15 year old Accord, but this is happening to my baby...their claws don't help much with the paint either...as of now, I havn't noticed any scratches that I can definitivly say are from them...but let's just say I'm not pleased. So we got a few supersoakers, and have shot the cats when we see them, but that is only a small fraction of the time...
This has been going on for over a year, and I'm just getting more and more annoyed. I don't want to piss off the neighbors, as they have been pretty accomadating when we have had loud parties and such(hey it's college...) and even so, I don't know if there is all that much that they could do...but it just drives me nuts...using the paintball gun rather than the supersoaker is becoming more and more tempting by the hour...any suggestions? And remember we're broke college students...so electric fences are probably not an option.

Call ninja to take out cats during night. You see dramatic difference in pussy's around car

What if you were hairy, homeless and milling about near my car- could I shoot you with a paintball gun?

[Suislide]

i agree. a big NO to the paintball gun idea.

get a car cover, or call the pound. shooting them would just be cruel because they don't know that what they're doing is bad.

Yeah, carcover gets my vote too. It will also keep it more clean.

[kittedb18bt]

i say kill them. the world would be a better place without all those cats. oh yeah, i hate cats.

i vote for the car cover, im sure if you used a paintball gun some prick would call the cops and get you with cruelty to animals are something. go for the car cover

Every once in awhile get a couple cans of tuna, open them up and pour them all over everyone else's cars.

Get some of those giant strips of sticky fly catcher stuff, then like put cheese on them, or whatever the hell cats eat. Then they get stuck on your car and you can drive around your block proudly showing your victory.

lol, the cheese will attract the mice which will then attarct the cats, then the dogs. You'll have a mini food chain on your car
