Cat on a hot Wedge roof.....

[father ted]

How can i stop the neighbours feckin moggie from sleeping on my Wedge's targa panel at night? I don't want to put the cover on ......and this bleedin pussy is shedding fur faster than a lady chav prior to a week in Corfu.

Everytime i get the Webley out ,Mrs Doyle starts raving on about shooting things being illegal & cruel (didn't think this applied to cats?)
please help!.....before the little sh1ts claws start wrecking the panel

On a positive note ,Hollie ,my eldest daughter (nearly 4) has now been for a drive in 'Wendy Wedge'

yay result! and now absolutely loves the car ,especially as she thinks we are driving FAST all the time ...(i never have my 'PistonHead' on with my children in the car).....and shouts TVR! at anyone who will listen
(it took a lot of bribery tho'!....sweets and a drive to the park and the insistance that 'Wendy' was a little bit upset that Hollie was scared of her )

put a bit of pepper on the roof at nights! - at least that will brush off easily enough

I'll lend you my dog for a few days .. he likes cats

You could try sleeping on the roof of your neighbour's car and see how they like it

no I think you had the best idea when you though to shoot it , my neighbours cat leaves footprints all over my scooby I never seen anything move as quick as that cat did when I started the car up when it was asleep under the engine .
have you complained to your neighbour about it? thats what I do they now think that their cat will be destroyed if its seen near my car again I have seen them come pick it off my drive a few times. and I've had 2 car washes courtesy of them. try that tactic say to them everythime the cat leaves anything there get them to pay for a proper valet. or have them for criminal damage of a classic or something.

Jeez, why not sue the RSPB every time a sparrow craps on it as well ?

You can get proprietary anti cat sprays, but I use a weak solution of lemon juice. Just spray it on the wheels and under the front and rear bumpers. They'll neither get on the roof nor the bonnet.

I have a similar problem when I have the wedge at home a local moggie who I call cooking Fat (don't think the neighbours have cottoned onto that one yet) puts footprints on it fortunately mostly on the paintwork not the roof. But I grin and bare it for the sake of local harmony.

[father ted]

Thanks for the suggestions chaps ...........i think i'll do the humane thing...................




and tie its tail to the rear chassis before a blat..

erm...no, the pepper methinks first then the lemon juice

bad father ted ,very bad.(i'll have the lentilists on the Wedge forum before you know it)

[rev-erend]

Say 10 hail Marys at your next confession ..

[streaky]

A "Super-soaker" filled with a weak solution of lemon juice and pepper - Streaky

[wedget]

you could try getting a few short planks of wood with nails on it and somthing soft on the other side...

[pistolar]

poor little pussy cat, just wants somewhere to sleep

I had no idea regular pepper would put them off. There is stuff called "cat pepper" you can get from pet shops which they are supposed to absolutely hate. If you know any gardeners they will probably know of something they use to stop cats sh1tting all over their gardens - it's not cat pepper but I cant remember what it is

Couple of big dollops of elephants sh1t will keep em off

Wedges are not suited to cats of any kind......

therefore it must die

Evil Sith emporor cat :your faith in your lemon juice and pepper spray is yours...........!

Someone who professes to be a gardener reckons your own p1ss.. not sure you'd like the smell/stain left on the roof after a few days.. the other neighbour reckons a spud gun, water didn't work for them.. pussy soon got the hint..
