    I can deal with cats roaming the neighborhood. But cat-dogs? Don't get me started.

    It's a fact, not an opinion that cats are more independent than dogs. I did not insult your family, just inquired as to their reaction to your juvenile mindset.


    The intellect of your remarks stand as an example of your own lack of higher brain function. I needn't say more....

    droxford, I have never heard of a cat spraying a grill. There are two possibilities here, and only two.

    (1) You mean your BBQ grill, in which case you are probably mistaking your own leftover marinade for cat spray. This speaks volumes of your abilities as a chef (shudder).

    (2) You mean your own face (colloquial "grill"), and that's just nasty. To get sprayed in your grill, you would have to place your face very close to a cat's rear, and I don't know why you would be doing that.

    Oh my God, dude. It's a grill. A standard, propane outdoor grill on wheels.

    like this:

    See how it's got a lid? That's what the cat sprayed. See how it's on wheels? that's how it rolls around.

    Sheesh.

    Last time I took it through the car wash it scratched it up. Yes I spent too much money on something that is just going to rust away over time, but I still want to keep this thing looking good and not have a $3 car wash scratch it up. And if I just want to squirt fluid on my windows and wipe them away leaving the wiper blade marks behind - why should I ever wash my car?

    I take it you are a roaming cat owner and drive a piece of junk.

    Never. I was very happy to learn of these grills that have tops on them. I may have to look into it. ... except that they apparently attract cat spray. What to do?

    I think the only real problem any of you should have with fixed cats is the digging in a garden because cats will go in there because its easier to bury their poo in there. Other than that most of these problems are nit-picking. As a said earlier in the thread and Nero put very well, if there are cats in your neighborhood that are not fixed they need to be dealt with. If they are wild/stray then they need to be trapped and the best option is with a catch and release group or an adoption place if the cat can be adopted. If it is a neighbors pet you need to stress that unless the cat is fixed you will be forced to call the proper authority and have the cats trapped.

    Cats that are not fixed seem to be the real problem.

    I do have a roaming cat. I drive these and each look brand new aside from a dent courtesy of the kids in my neighborhood.:

    And is it really that hard to find a brushless carwash where you live?

    It's cheaper, faster, easier, less annoying, and more permanent to just trap the cats and have them taken away.

    Aren't the cats back? :confused:

    They will keep coming back. And eventually you'll have cats that won't get trapped like the one at our office that is too smart for the trap.

    It's actually cheaper, faster, and easier just to not wash your car, and if you are the type to freak out and wash your car for paw prints, you either never drive your car and keep it parked in the garage and it really its value is non-existent or you wash your car all the time because it get dirty every day even without the prints.

    When I trapped the cats previously, I caught four cats. After they were gone, things were nice for quite a while. But now different cats ar starting to use my lawn as their stomping ground.

    Fu*k you kid! just kidding. I'm actually more on the let-cats-outside side (though I don't own any). Clearly spade/neuter, and control them if they destroy other people's property.

    paw prints on a car is not destruction of property, and although spraying is gross, it's akin to me walking out my front door and watching some dude let his dog take a ***** on my lawn while he says "good morning."

    dog/cat misbehavior is a simple problem with simple solutions, which only presents a challenge to "simple" people. you're all pansies. I'm still drunk. I hopes a dingo takes your baby. t*tties.
