So, CMW and I have this friend who is a little bit "car proud."

[Heidi]

Whenever he and I go anywhere together, my friend D parks his car miles blocks away from our destination so that other drivers won't ding his ride with their car doors. He keeps his pride and joy in pristine condition and when he comes to our house, he checks on the car regularly, just to make sure everything's okay.

When D was here Thursday, he took a peek at his car and called to CMW and me to come outside: "Not good. Ginger is the _only_ cat who has _ever_ done this."

Instead of getting Ginger off of the car, I ran inside to get the camera. :rofl:





For the record, this is how seriously Ginger takes Uncle D's "car emergency":

[TZ]

1. lol

Obviously Ginger is helping your friend out in a couple of ways..First keeping birds away from sullying the car with their droppings...AND helping detail it because, you know, nothing is complete without a bit of cat hair....;-)

[Heidi]

3. We had a serious talk with Ginger and Ginger has promised not to do this again

until next time D is here. :rofl:

20. my hat is off to TWAEBCNG

5. Uh oh, a GD primary post?

:scared:

[Heidi]

6. Nah, I meant to reply to turtlensue, but replied to my OP instead.

:P

[Crazy Dave]

8. Hey, if it keeps the thread kicked...

:bounce:

[Crazy Dave]

4. Our cats lets us drive their cars that they sleep and walk on

Hi ya'll :hi:

[Heidi]

7. Hi, friend!

Yep, Ginger's generous like that, too. Heck, he even lets us sleep in the bed with him. :rofl:

[Crazy Dave]

9. So does our Zsa Zsa

But she gets grumpy if you try to move her and make the bed up. Which is fine by me, I hate making the bed.

[Heidi]

11. Well, she's certainly gorgeous.

One _must_ defer to such regal beauty. :)

:loveya: <-- for Zsa Zsa!

[lizziegrace]

10. I love cats with attitude

or perhaps he was just trying to be helpful by scaring off the birds who might bomb it?

:rofl:

:hi:

[Heidi]

12. lizziegrace!!!!!

Congratulations on all the good stuff unfolding in your life these days! Ginger and I are _very_ happy for you! :hug: :loveya:

:yourock:

[lizziegrace]

13. Thanks sweetie!

And reward Ginger for all his hard work keeping the birds at bay... ;)


:hug: and one for CMW too. :hug:


:loveya:

[yellowdogintexas]

21. actually, this is a SERIES comment. My boys no longer go out, and I have noticed a

marked increase in bird bombings on my windshields.

Methinks the birds are getting too cockey?

I don't want to put them back out, I hate the flea wars and I don't have to worry about them if they don't show up at night when I am ready to go to bed.


so I am sure they spooked the birds just enough...

oh well. That is what the squee gee at the gas station is for.

[lizziegrace]

22. Both my cats are indoors

my cars are covered. I see a direct correlation... ;)

[Pavulon]

14. They know..

after my wife finished her student days and started full time at the hospital we bought a nice car as a celebration and necessity.

The old car never attracted our cats, but the new one drew them in. They still sit on it to this day.

Worst thing to do is yell at them, then they scratch it. Best to just leave them...

[Heidi]

15. Exactly!

However, our friend is not a cat lover, and he doesn't understand that admonishing a cat is the _last_ tactic you wanna try. :rofl:

[terrya]

16. Well, that's Ginger's new car.

Sorry about your friend, but I know kitty possession when I see it. :-)

:hi:

[Heidi]

24. Ginger agrees that possession is nine-tenths of Cat Law.

:rofl:

Hi, friend! I've missed you! :hug: :loveya:

[Haole Girl]

17. Hahahahaha!

I love it. My husband got a laugh out of that, too!!

:D

[Heidi]

25. Hi, KC2!

Next time D comes to see us, he'll come by train and bus -- just to protect his car. :rofl:

[nuxvomica]

18. There is nothing like finding little kitty pawprints on your car

I sometimes find them made in pollen on my car by the neighborhood cats. I feel slightly injured and yet delighted at the sight of them, as with any feline transaction.

[Heidi]

26. Kinda charming, isn't it?

:rofl:

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My dear Heidi!

Well, I think that Ginger knows that this car is his throne!

He looks very regal sitting there...

He finds the car worthy, doncha know!

:rofl:


:hug:

[Heidi]

27. That's what we told D!

"Ginger wouldn't do this if he didn't love you." :rofl:

[Guava Jelly]

23. You should train her to sit over the BMW logo and pose like a Jaguar

:D :hi: :loveya:

[Heidi]

28. :spank:

GREAT idea! However, Ginger has proven himself relatively uncoachable. :spray:

:loveya:
