Specifically cats.

I found pawprints on my fan shroud today...

I just know that one day a feline and my serpentine belt will be the death of eachother...

Any suggestions?

park somewhere else


really though, pet stores sell "cat repellant" that is supposed to work for furniture and such. could spray some of that under the hood.

John Deere used to make an aerosol spray called "mouse away"

Not sure if they do anymore...

Man have yall ever heard of weasels/ferrets eating your belts and hoses?

Apparently thats a HUGE problem over here in Germany. They sell repellent for it and it was in the auto magazines as a sign spring was here, that the little critters would start eating your car.

One of the guys I work with, his car lost all its coolant on the way to work one day because his radiator hose had been chewed on and finally blew out on the road.

Anyhow crazy stuff .. but yeah its supposed to be common over here .. and you thought cat paw-prints were annoying.

Coyote Survives Eight Hour Trip In Honda Engine Bay
quote:
Their road trip took a bad turn when the Easts hit a coyote. Assuming the animal was deceased, they drove off before finding it lodged in their Honda Fit. It survived, unharmed, only to escape from the rehab center.

My sister had a problem with cats hanging out under the hood of the 02 Explorer she had, and then once, the cat wedged itself under the airbox and the body of the truck and died, 2 days later the truck stunk so bad she had it towed to the Ford dealer.

Wasnt pretty.

Daughter was about 6 when her cat hitched a ride under the pickup and jumped ship a block later at about 30mph.

Not a fun conversation when she got home from school.
