Popular Post Formaleins Posted September 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) Firstly, I love my car much more than any of my wife's cats, in fact I actually hate most of her cats as they are filthy disgusting wildlife murdering little <deleted>s. So as you can tell, I am not someone who supports the "rights" of animals over people, however, I am not a sadist, so, here goes. Every time I wash and clean my car (which I love much more than any cat) within 12 hours, these feral monsters have climbed all over the bonnet and windscreen with their filthy paws and have shed their lice ridden hair all over the front of the car. I have seen the responses on the internet from the usual left wing tree hugging brigade about "sprinklers" and "provide a box for them to sit in" and all that garbage. I don't particularly want my car constantly sprinkled with Thai government water as it seems to eat into the paint and glass over time like etching fluid. Nor do they need any more boxes to sit in. What they need is something to stop them even attempting to want to sit on my car. Water around the car certainly works but is impractical as it evaporates and needs replenishing. So has anyone found a practical solution that can keep them off the car? (No I am not buying a car cover to scrape on and off everyday). There are a few other solutions I have in mind but probably not that environmentally friendly, the local gardening supply shop sells Paraquat, I might start polishing the car with that. Lots of chemical solutions but I am not sure what it will do to the paintwork....anyone cleaned their car with Paraquat? Tonight I am trying a liberal (no pun intended) sprinkling of Prik Porn around the perimeter, reinforced by a healthy sprinkling of my own home grown 100% organic natural cold pressed extra virgin lime juice, (If this works it will be fine as I have gallons of the stuff) But if anyone knows of another 100% solution, please let me know. (Not interested in the other "Animal Friendly garbage" like "put a plastic snake on it" Our cats eat snakes! The water bottle rubbish that the Thais use (to deter dogs from pissing is not an option here as it will only attract the Lao Kao alcoholics to rehydrate themselves as they crawl along the lane to find their bed) I have enough "Insects" without attracting more!

Have used it, it does work. Yep, my dear old mum used to sprinkle pepper on her roses to keep the cats and dogs away ( she loved animals as much as the op does ). We have a lot of stray cats around who use my flower bed as a toilet !! Gf bought a bag of lime from Homepro ( 19 baht for a 1/2 kilo ( I think) bag ), keeps the cats away, wouldn’t recommend putting it on the car but sprinkle it around it and they might get out of the habit of using your car as a bed ! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you have to catch 'em to rub it in their eyes though. Daiso the Japanese shop sells tablets for 60 baht has a smell cats hate, seems to work a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sheryl Posted September 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2020 A flaming post dragg8ng in off topic politics removed. OP I have same problem (though a less fancy car and I do like cats -- but still, don't want them leaving paw prints all over the car) I have found no solution other than a car cover. They still go up on it but that way no paw prints. I am un clear from those suggesting chili etc where exactly one would put it. Don't want chili powder on the car anymore than cat paw prints, in fact less.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formaleins Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) I'd just shoot the buggers, but by the time of night that they climb up there and after a few beers I would probably shoot the paintwork rather than the offending cat. I am not vindictive, they probably do not understand revenge or retribution so killing them the day after is pretty much pointless and will not teach their friends anything. Yes, in the long term it will "FIX" the problem, but I would expect that after 6 or 7 cats disappear mysteriously, my wife, or someone might finger me as a suspect. And here in the La La Land Of Lunacy and Morons, I would probably end up with more jail time for shooting a cat than for raping and murdering foreign tourists on an island run by tw@ts! I could always put a few sheets of the Thai Flypaper on the bonnet, just for laughs! If you have ever seen one of these fleabag cats with a sheet of that stuff stuck on their <deleted> it is hilarious! But knowing my luck it would end up stuck to the damn paint!

I love your thinking! It is getting enough coverage to stop them avoiding the trap... I need something that electrocutes them when they get within a metre of the car. I still reckon a nerve poison like Paraquat is the answer, it will save on the car cleaning and the bills for feeding them too.

DaftToPutRealName Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 If your cats are dirty, lousy and/or covered in fleas, then it seems like the simplest solution is that you should all hop into a bath together. Make sure to really get that shampoo in, and then you can all take turns with the lice comb. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case it was an issue with tom cats spraying into the air vents A Vet explained that cats will "mark" territory on the highest upright place which happens to be the front windscreen usually. Same as dogs marking the wheels . A reasonably liberal sprinkling of pepper powder on the bonnet over several causes enough discomfort to them to ignore the territory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understand that one, but it gets even worse when they start fighting. They start spraying liquid <deleted> at each other during their fight or flight and it lands on everything. Personally I am not a fan of having liquidized cat <deleted> all over my car or motorbike seats...Tends to put the ladies off if you are out for the night and your car or bike stinks of cat <deleted>. The <deleted> spraying is terrible too, but not as an offensive smell as the liquid <deleted>! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An electric "fence" is very effective for dogs which pee on wheels. BUt cats tend to leap onto a vehicle without touching it from the ground...hence no effect from electric impulse. Unless you were to lay two separated polarity mats on the bonnet ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dwyer Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I couldn’t understand why the cats would come into my garden to khrap !! Until I saw my next door neighbour putting the food and water bowl on my half of the dividing wall !! I was in the house and through the window saw her hand sliding under the makeshift wall of her outside kitchen and pushing it so the cats could only access it from my garden. It was comical to see it happening ????, I waited a few minutes then went and grabbed both bowls and chucked them over the wall into an empty lot . A few hours later she appeared and engaged the gf in some conversation, the gf asked me if I had seen her “ dogs “ ( ???? ) bowl, of course I denied it and never got accused , but they knew for sure it was me ???? I guess the reason was as she has a small dog she had to put the food for the cats outside , hence the cats don’t khrap in her garden also ???? Anyhoo, the cats became accustomed to using my garden as a toilet, but the lime cured that ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formaleins Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 One minute they are eating them next they are pampering them, same mentality as the Chinese, one minute they are in a stir fry next they cost 10K Baht! Absolute madness. Curried cat to pampered friend, only the HiSo Yellow shirt idiots could allow this. In the past few years they have taken care of the filthy minge ridden cats and rabid filthy dogs more than their own people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post FolkGuitar Posted September 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2020 There is a very common, locally grown plant that produces a smell that cats can't stand, yet is pleasant for people. We used to use it in our gardens and it keeps all the cats from using the garden as their litter box. My mother used to use this plant (she made little cloth sachets and filled them with the flowers) to keep the cats off the furniture. Very effective remedy. That said, I'm not going to tell you the name of this plant. Your way of dealing with people isn't much better than your way of treating animals. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outbackoz Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Perhaps you may give some thought to using an ultrasonic device either triggered by thermal change or movement. Probably something above the range of the human ear but still in range of the cats I think from memory the upper threshold for humans is around 20kHz whilst for the pesky Felis catus is circa 80kHz. probably need around 75-100 decibels. May not completely stop them but would reduce their incursions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven100 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Moth Balls .... The scent given out by mothballs aren’t gentle, the cat will learn to never come across your car again. All you have to do is spread these balls all over the car, but be aware that the smell may be a little uncomfortable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
