Default Help ....kill all cats

So i go out side yesterday ay my girl friends house and her cats are relaxinf on top of my car I remove them am very about it but dont think much of it... til today I wash my car and as im drying im noticing that there is chips in the paint all over the fendors and the hood as well as deep scratches down to the white primer under neath. ( these were not there 5 days ago when i washed/waxed it so I can rule outgetting 1000 rock chips in 2oo miles) Besides the fact of removing the throats of 2 cats what do I do. Any body have ideas with out a repaint ? PLease

well, for the scratches that didnt go through the clear and the paint, use some cleaners, polishes and waxes to get those out. However there is no way to fix the ones that went down all the way into the primer without a repaint. Sorry dude.

And a word to the wise, don't kill the cats. It'll result in your girlfriend being pretty angry. However, you might wanna arrage it that they get run over by an unknown driver.

TA, besides you knowing me and my view on cats lol, what we do @ work with those mild scratchs is take a mild abrasive buffing compound, and go over it, then we put a coat of wax on it, and as long as the scratchs are not deep into the clear coat, you should be fine with that.

Another thing (altho some ppl say its crap) that actually works pretty damn well, is that stuff from Turtle Wax, thats a kinda colored wax to blend in with minor surface scratchs. Put it on a brand new truck the other day, and you couldnt even tell there was a scratch.

First, use all the waxes and stuff everyone mentioned. Then, go to sports authority and pick up a nice camo outfit and a .22. Equip the .22 with a laser sight just for kicks. Stop by grocer, buy some fish. Place fish in an open location, at night, near the cats residence. Then find a tree and see how many bullets they can take until they stop twitching...

p.s. i think i put to much thought into this.... :p

1) try waxing and such to fix the scratches....
2) tie ropes to each cat...
3) tie other end to exhaust tips (why you have 2 tips right)
4) see how fast cats can run....
5) have buddy fallow you to see when they start to bounce....
6) practice story of where you were on the night in question

I am going to try the colored wax tomorrow hope fully it will fix some of it. If it doesnt look to awfully bad ill let it be and if it does............ ive grown kind of fond of som hawks lately and while im doing the hood and fendors ........ But as for the cats im thinkin of getting a taser or a stun gun and teaching the cats a lesson on proper automobile etiqute . Of corse the idea of sueing her and her parents sounds good.....but in reality that just would be a bad idea. Thanks for all the ideas though.

my cat did that to my first car when i was 15 several years ago, and i taught him a lesson
he was always a pest about trying to sneak in the house whenever someone walking in
so one day i tricked him into jumping in my car....so i left him in there for about 12 hours with the windows uncracked
from then on, he never came near my car
and as an extra, he didnt try to get in the house anymore

Your lucky he didnt **** in there, that happend to a guy I work with by accident locked the neighbors cat in his car.
Cat was in there for about 12-14 hours that was about 10 months ago after every carpet cleaner imginable 3-4 steam cleanings and some special de stink from the vet you still cant sit in his car with the windows up.

The taser sounds better every time i get that mental image of sticking it against the cats tail
