Cats on my Roadster!

How about something like this?

And in the morning your car is charged AND washed!

It would seem that it detects humans too.

So not only does it repel pests and wash your car, it handles your morning shower, too. Very efficient. Bring your toothbrush!

I'm going back to "car cover plus an empty box on the soft top" strategy.

How about hanging the box from the ceiling? Then you just have to drive the Roadster under it.

 

[zack]

Wait, I've got it. Park a decoy Roadster in the garage.

I like this idea!

 

[bonnie]

I think I have it solved.

Until they really do develop opposable thumbs ... It's only a matter of time ...

It seems one of the cats decided to jump from the soft top of the car onto the hood, and it looks as if he must have openned his claws to try and get a grip as there are 2 parallel paw-sized scratch marks that slide about 5 inches down the top piece of the hood. The aren't too deep so they can probably be buffed out, but kind of a shame. Anyway, I know now that they do open their claws sometimes!

Exactly. The Prius do not get a cover. It has the scratch marks the Roadster has been spared.

Oh yeah, those claws are a cats TC. They are extended within milliseconds of pad slippage detection.

Cat-tion Control...:wink:

That's exactly what it looked like -- a spot at the very top where the paws hit, and just below that the scratch marks started as if the claws came out instantly as the cat realized it was starting to slide down the hood. Too bad the cat's TC can't be turned off like with the car!

[benji4]

That looks familiar unfortunately!

 

[Jaff]

Perhaps hire a security guard...I hear this guy works for vittles...:wink:

So TEG,

Have you been searching for a cat on a roadster picture since this thread started, or???

Nope. It just randomly happened to show up soon after this thread was started. I wasn't even searching for anything like it, but when I saw it, I knew where it belonged.
