How can I protect my car from scratches from our cats? We bought a new 2009 Toyota Highlander.?

We just bought a new 2009 Toyota Highlander. We keep it in our garage every night, but we also have 4 cats that run around the garage. With our current car (a 2005 Ford Explorer), we have caught them on it, and there are scratch marks on the hood and the top of the car from them. With the new car, we will also have a sunroof, so that is also a problem.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!How can I protect my car from scratches from our cats? We bought a new 2009 Toyota Highlander.?A 16 gauge seems to work quite well.How can I protect my car from scratches from our cats? We bought a new 2009 Toyota Highlander.?
Not letting the Cats into the Garage is really the only thing you can do about it.



Often Cats like to sleep on top of the Hoods because the engine stays warm for hours after you shut the engine off.



There are expensive protective finishes you can buy and have applied. They are like your Clear Coat but harder and more resistant to scratching and chipping. But they are very expensive.



I would just try to keep them out.

There is a product called body armor and it is like widow tint, only clear and alot thicker. It can be applied almost anywhere on the vehicle and, when you go to sell it, it peels off.

Keep the kitties out of the garage or declaw them.
Declaw them.



Otherwise you'll spend hours trying to teach them not to get on the car (when one jumps on it, hit the alarm button). But they only learn through multiple attempts. Keeping the cats out of the garage would be my preference since some day you may start up the car and have a cat under the hood. Perhaps more correctly, a has been cat....
