Damn Cats Climbing On My Skyline

There seems to be a neighbourhood cat that is attracted to my skyline. I have noticed catprints all over the roof/boot/bonnet 3 times in the past 3 weeks and today I see that the motherf$#%er has pissed down the crack between my windscreen and bonnet. How can I stop the cat from being attracted to my car? Could it be something like a faint smell in my interior that attracts him/her to my car or is it just another attack on skylines. I want to stop it from happening ASAP because its putting small scratches on my paint I think and I'm sure cats piss isn't great for paintwork either.

cats normally sit on your bonnet due to the heat from the engine (keeping them warm at night)

get yourself a car cover or get a product like this

Commercial Cat Repellents

4. One of the commercial cat repellents available is a powder called, "Shake-Away." Shake-Away bears the scent of the urine of predators that cats fear, namely, the coyote, the fox and the bobcat. This commercial cat repellent comes in a granular form, which you simply sprinkle around the problem area. The product is advertised as being organic, making it an acceptable option to use around children and pets. Nor will it harm your plants.

put it around the area were your car is and should keep the cat off your cat

try going to a play like city famers or a pet store and asking them for something similar.

yeah just put a car cover over the car, or a piece of tarp or something so if the cat pisses it just runs down onto the ground and not into your cabin air intake haha.

I think the secret ingredient in Passiona is "cat-piss"

OK cheers Kaido RR that makes sense as it has definately got colder during the nights here in the past few weeks which would explain why it didnt happen before. Not surprisingly it happened again last night, and my engine would have been warm because I got home at 11:00ish, I'll have a look for some coyote urine to replace the cat urine that is on my car :)

Its because another cat sits on your car. Its obvious the one that pee'd on your car is beefing with the other one and marking its territory. My suggestion, wait with a water gun or a hose and spray both cats. Or let nature sort it self out.

Call the council and they will drop off a cat trap for you. You then buy small tins of tuna and bait the trap and start catching the neighbourhood stray cats.

When you catch one, you call the council come and get it. If it is a registered cat the owners are notified and informed. If its a stray/feral then its destroyed.

I had the same problem about 5 years ago with some old fat neighbour that was feeding stray and feral cats. They were breeding like rabits in the car bodies abandoned in his back yard. We got rid of 12 cats in 2 weeks and solved our problem.

Nothing is as angry as big feral cat in a small cage too. Feral cats are freeking psycho!

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.

      Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
