I'm pretty gullible, Gary. Is there really a cat tree? The cat does like to hang out, and sleep, in the joists for the carport. But the heat of the hood sucks his dirty paws right down on my Benz. I'd even pay the $175. Thanks. Muddog

Something that you need to be careful of, Muddog. When ever approaching your car, with the cat on the hood, don't EVER startle, scare or tick-off the cat...personal experience. The first thing the cat does is extend its bloody claws into your paint (hence the new scratches) and then it turns to hiss and spit at you...Now assuming that you have better aim with your briefcase, I have yet to be able to cleanly remove the cat with a single swing...(hence the old scratches). Plus at no extra cost, the wife will remind you of the time you tried to kill her favorite pet. Try to get a dog that hates cats...don't know if its better to have something pee on your tires or scratch your paint. Good luck Keith |

better yet...train the cat (on the sly, of course) to sleep in the wheel wells |

| Does anyone have any experience using motor oil additives like Slick 50 or Prolong on their MB's? Please share your comments and thanks for your reply in advance. | |
| The only thing you can do (short of getting rid of it) is to cover your car with a cover every night. | |

MB specifically states in the owner's manual not to add any engine or fuel additives because they could cause damage (and may void the warranty). Use them at your own risk. Drew/aling Townhall Community Leader/Vans Conference |

Thanks, again, to all for the advice. None of the solutions is perfect, so I guess I'll just muddle through as best I can. Does anyone have cat burial service materials? Muddog |

I think the car cover is the best idea. Besides, it's good for your car even without the cat. Look at http://www.precisionauto.com/ for some you can buy on-line. A college roomate of mine (many years ago) had a book called "Kitty Torture" regarding behavioral modification of cats. I believe the correct kitty torture in this case is to super glue the cat to the hood and drive around using it as a hood ornament for a week. ..... this is not my idea, I am merly restating someone else's idea. |

Thanks, David, for the advice. Microwaving comes to mind, but I just can't. I don't like the idea of a cover, really, but that makes as much sense as anything (moral). Thanks, again. Muddog |
