exactly. If people cant keep their animals under control...sorry....although if it were my girlfriends..i would tread more lightly. I would tell her they need to be controlled because i dont want my property being damaged..either she cares and addresses your concerns, or depending on how I feel, by by girlfriend or the cats dissappear.

if you think it's immoral for her not to compensate you for her cat getting on your car, i think you're being a little harsh. it's an outside cat and you knew she had it. and therefore since it was outside you knew it could get on your car. i think it's your fault more than anything since you're the one who chanced parking outside. i wouldn't blame mcdonald's because i parked in their parking lot under a tree and tree sap fell on my car and ate through my paint, although mcdonald's owns the land and therefore the tree. i could have parked somewhere else. i could have taken a cab. i could have walked. if it's a question of moral in any way, it's as much a question of common sense.

I'm digging you having your GF (in the buff) help polish out the cats art work..................and for heavens sake take a few pic's and post them up..................that will either teach her to keep the kitty in check or us coming back for more rounds of great pic's as the punishment heats up. :-)

Hmmm... I don't think I'd ask my girlfriend for full compensation even if it was her cat that did the damage. I feel like in a relationship, nobody really owes anybody anything for stuff like this; it's just something you go through together. Of course that would more likely apply to a longer or more serious relationship (not saying yours isn't, but I don't know what type of relationship you have), but I think you get my point. Or maybe you can go 50/50 since, like I said earlier, "together".

So anyway, I parked in front of her house and for around an hour or so we just chatted about stuff. Two of her three cats are NOTORIOUS for snooping around cars, it's absolutely ridiculous. I've never seen anything like it. If a car pulls up, they are magnetized to it, whether they sniff around it, jump on it, everything. If I park my car there, within 20 minutes, one of her cats is on it, but this time... well, it was the last straw.

Keep in mind, I absolutely love cats. I'm more of a cat person than I am a dog person, but my two cats are inside the house and they stay there. But still, even my neighborhood cats only hop up on my car once every blue moon (maybe once every 3 or 4 months) and there is just some paw prints, but last night while we were in the car, her cat *tried* to jump up on the back of my car but failed. We both heard him fall off and I was absolutely certain he tried to "grip" on, which can never be good. Sure enough, I wake up this morning to go to the gym, and the moment daylight broke - bam. There's two trails of vertical scratches going ALLLL the way down my bumper. They look pretty deep, I am hoping to GOD I can buff them out with my PC, otherwise, I'll have to resort to drastic measures... do you think it's fair I demand compensation for a potential repaint if it's beyond buffing? I don't want to stir any trouble since I love my girlfriend, and I know her cats are just cats and they don't know any better, but... I don't think it's fair I should have to pay out of pocket, especially since we both witnessed it happen...

Help. lol

I would not even intertain the tought of having her pay!! I she would offer is a different story. Good girl friends are hard to find,and Paint can be bought. you pay to have him declawed?

Is it fair to punish an animal because of an owner's irresponsibly? Antifreeze is a very cruel way to "take care" of an animal. Now I'm with you 110% Mike25....I wouldn't want to see cat scratches on my car, but don't blame the cat.....the owner should know better than to let a cat run amok in the neighborhood. And in a city or built up area, it borders on animal cruelty (getting hit by a car).

When I first read this, I didn't think it would get so deep.

Take it out in trade for some freaky evening fun!!!

[mike25]

damage liability is 50/50 cat/owner. If a human didnt know what a stop sign was because no one ever taught him, would he be pardoned when he ran it killing someone?

[stikSS]

Gun = no cats.... or like mentioned above....antifreeze for a more peaceful ending.

Be ready to single if you ask for $$$$

Tell her you'll pay for the declaw, and she pays for a new bumper(it's plastic and was also grooved as well as the paint).
