I'm not really a cat person ( we don't get on ) ... but this morning before heading into work I realized the other halves cat is using the underside of my Vitara and Patrol as an assault course. I've seen her running around in that area a few times but didn't realize the extent of the acrobatics that was going on under there. I watched her jump down from the cross member under the transfer case of the Vitara... run under the back of it... then scramble up over the patrols front axle and then head towards the back... it explains why she keeps coming in the house covered in what looks like dried salisbury plain
the good news: the cat approves of 4x4s and seems to prefer the challenge offered by those with a live axle up front, so I have to keep them, and finally we have something in common
the bad news: one day I'm going to arrive somewhere and she's going to appear from underneath the vehicle looking quite confused or worse. Better be careful to check that. I don't think a "please don't climb on the 4x4's" sign will work on her.

Ours also like the inside, as well as sitting on a warm engine.
Often, we we park up, the cat will go and sit on top of a front tyre.

me too.
ive got 2 dogs. and stupid as they might be, they both realise that the place to sit in a car is inside on a seat...... usually just after rolling in fox ****, diving in the stagnant pond and carrying a bit of dead rabbit for extra effect

Surely it can't be so bad that cats shitting on your drive would make you want to top yourself! Guns are such a messy way of doing it. Why not just shovel the stuff up and dispose of it.
