Default So annoyed

So, upon inspection of my cars boot lid this morning, there are thousands of little scratches all over it.

Anyway, after have a whinge to me old man about saying how it's where people put their bags and stuff on the car when getting into their own car. He piped up and said, oh nah, it's not bags, it's our cats.

So I'm pretty much up for getting the boot lip resprayed because the cats climb all over the car, so angry.

Anyone else ever have problems like this or similar?

I needed to have a whinge

I've got a couple of big long scratches down my bonnet from a cat jumping up then sliding down it. It doesn't bother me too much now because my bonnet is due for replacement anyway.

Lock your cats inside... I have three cats and they all stay inside due to a large number of literally insane rotties owned by a neighbor...

I had a freinds cat jump on my bonnet the other night after a nice long cruise... I gently picked him up and took him off... you can't shoo them off as they **** themselves and dig their claws in for better grip :P

Ive had the same problem with our car, its only ever down it once on the bonnet. There are also scratches on my boot, which are a result of the window being broken a few weeks back......
