Pesky cats.....

As most of you know, i clean my DXB every other day, and am getting very upset with cats well ONE cat MY bleedin cat jumping on my shiny bonnet every time its clean.






there is now white paw marks all over it, i shewed (right word?) her off but it happens all the time, she is due for a clean tomorrow anyway which may be suspended till fri afternoon as i want her clean for saturday!


Any tips/advice on keeping the pussy off the bonnet without killing it, cuz i do love her really

Carlos, put some little baby mits on her paws or sprinkle cat nip on your parents' cars.

From my experience with cats the best thing you can do is keep picking the thing up and putting it on the bonnet. Pretty soon it'll figure this is what you WANT it to do and consequently stop doing it - just to annoy you.

Brilliant, and no doubt solves the problem!

No way that can be a UK Ad, there'd be an avalanche of cat lover complaints.

You need to remove the earthing strap from the bonnet and wire it to the mains.
