All that kitty has to do is get scared and the claws automatically pop out and then your talking about scratches through the clearcoat into the paint.

I don't know about that, but rocks and dirt on the cat's paws absolutely will scratch your car's paint. I keep the cat out of the garage. Otherwise they are constantly on the cars.All that kitty has to do is get scared and the claws automatically pop out and then your talking about scratches through the clearcoat into the paint.
Awe the cute little bunny rabbit is taking a long napBest deterrent is a cat. They won't even come on the property unless the cat brings one to you a gift.
Last week she brought me a rabbit lol.
Sounds like a lot of work. Glad it's successful though.I keep my cars covered in my driveway during the winter here in NJ so I deal with this every year.
Before covering the cars in November, I take plastic topper wear containers, put 5 cotton balls in them and I douse them with peppermint oil (bought at the local grocery store).
I place 2 containers inside the passenger compartment. 1 container in the trunk and 3 or 4 containers in the engine compartment. I then cover the car.
I also take some of the used kitty litter when our cat is done with it, put it in big topper wear container and place them underneath the car (under the engine compartment).
I keep replacing the used kitty litter throughout the week as our cat is done with it.
The sent of used cat litter should keep them away from the engine bay.
I did this for the first time last winter with much success, there was minimal signs of wild life (seeds, dropping, etc) inside the engine compartment come spring time. A plus was the wonderful smell of peppermint inside the passenger compartment that lingered for the first 4 weeks of spring lol.
This is actually a great idea!!Can confirm this works. Gonna need a lot to ring the car though
Also don't step on them yourself. Shit is seriously sticky.

Setting up the cotton ball containers is easy.Sounds like a lot of work. Glad it's successful though.
It does. That is what I do as well.Up here in Wisconsin we use bounce fabric softener sheets for our cars and our boats when storing for the winter. Works great.
