I don’t know what to do, have four wild cats living in the garage, yes I know get rid of them, can’t do that they all have had lousy lives, problem is my baby Chim lives with them, up to now have covered her in bed sheets, however need to cover with indoor cover, garage is water proof not damp, looked on line found covers however looking at minimum of £159.00 what I was thinking of was buying cheap cover putting sheets inside the cover am I being stupid ?

If I was in your situation I would sell the car and bring in another twenty wild cats
Joking apart, well done giving the cats a home, enjoy the fun with them

If the garage is dry, any cheap large over would probably fit and putting sheets on first (cotton I presume?) would prevent the cover scratching the paint, absorb condensation and resist scratches from the little darlings putting their claws through the cover.

Before I shelled out for a Covercraft one (mine is outside), I did something similar but cheap ones (sub £20) just aren't resistant to rain. Indoors they'd be fine I reckon.

At least they'll stop the mice eating the wiring/seats/dash!

A cheap cover will be fine indoors, and any old bedding / towels / linen etc that you put over the car first will all help protect it.

If the garage is dry then any indoor cotton cover is fine.

Any kind of damp within the garage then a breathable cover should be used.

When using an outdoor cover outside, I would recommend you DO NOT put any kind of cotton sheet on the car, under the outdoor

cover, because any kind of damp will penetrate the cotton cover and could cause micro blistering within the paintwork over a period of

time.

Four wild cats? Females? If they've not been neutered there could be a lot more soon!
