You feed a dog and he'll love you. One has to earn a cat's respect. In the middle ages some people thought they were evil and killed them. I think they might have second thoughts when the Bubonic plage came around. Introduce yourself to a friendly feline and spend some quality time together. I'll bet you change your opinion.
besides, shitting in a box is so undignified.

Re: Car Storage - Keeping The Mice out
I can do this. 
Let me see if I've got it right.
1. Pick up a hoe.
2. Remove her hose.
3. Go to the vet and pick up some cat *****.
4. Put above cat ***** in the hoes hose.
5. Swing the above hoes hose ***** apparatus and whack the mouse with it.
6. Inform anyone who criticizes you for this that your not gay.
7. Post in the Forum how well it worked.

Re: Car Storage - Keeping The Mice out
I'm glad to hear that you like them. I was allergic to them when I was a kid, I was allergic to everything. Took shots for three years and it all went away. I realized that cat's screw you attitude turns a lot of people off. However, remember pound for pound any cat can kick any dog's ***. Do a search for liger (it's a cross between a lion and a tiger, seriously) It is the largest cat in the world. It's absolutely amazing!

Re: Car Storage - Keeping The Mice out
I suggest you refer any 6 year old to post #10 and give them a cookie when they hand you the finished product.
You Sir, seem to be Cornfuzed, probably due to too much dander (or bad ho) in your diet.

1. Obtain some nylon hoes. Unwashed but used/warn knee high is best. Cut off torso area if you can only obtain "panty hoes". All you need is one calf lenght piece.
2. Find a cat or cat owner. Unwashed cat is best. Washed cat owner is preferred, but not nessesary.
3. Aquire a BIG ball of cat hair through brushing of said cat and/or cat owner.
Cat owner hair will not work for this project.
4. Tie a knot in one end of nylon with the opening open. Creating a small pocket.
If nylons are provided by cat owner, remove nylons from cat owner first.
5. Stuff a decent amount of cat hair into opening, tie closed & cut off on far side of said knot.
You should have a little nylon ball of cat hair. About palm sized is good.
6. Repeat step five until you have 4-5 ***** of cat fur filled nylon *****.
7. Place the ***** in key locations of engine compartment and any other wiring harness locations.
Make as many cat hair ***** as you like.
It is the odor of a natural preditor that will keep the mice away.
The nylons just keeps the hair from getting messy and still allows the odor to easily get out.
And for what it is worth, the rats/mice eat wiring due to the insulation in wires.
Also, use traps in the storage bay, more cat ***** stuffed in any known openings, etc.
I hope this helps.

Re: Car Storage - Keeping The Mice out
Since you have to sedate a cat to brush it anyway, isn't it just easier to shave the damn thing and get all the hair you need at one time?

Re: Car Storage - Keeping The Mice out
I like the idea of my car in its own Hoosier Dome.....may have to look into that idea...and my cat recently disappeared...we have a serial cat killer on the loose in our little town...and you know that is how Domer got started...anyway...haven't had an issue storing my car...so I may have to get a new cat, but not until the serial cat killer is captured...repeat that 10 times....

Re: Car Storage - Keeping The Mice out
Back to topic - how about just storing the car in a nice clean garage.
Don't store open containers of food (I hear they like Purina One )
Keep the doors closed when you are not in there and make sure there are no openings anywhere (caulk is a good thing). Never had a mouse issue.

I know what's coming, If I had a SRT6, I could have beat him.

I have always looked at it as if there is no food around they will find a better place.

I think the mice have keys to my garage.
