So, where I'm living right now has two of these stoopit critters who appear to love my car almost as much as I do!

I've tried stopping them sleeping there, and I don't need any suggestions (humane or otherwise) on how to stop them. Just need to know the most effective way of getting shot of the hair now I've lost the darned brush attachment for my hoover :shifty:

Try the lint removing brushes that we use on our coats and other clothes. they work well.
Set a few mouse traps and leave on the hood - it will scare the critters away.

Yeah a lint roller should work if not Sellotape wrapped round your hand ;)
It's heart breaking to see all that hair on your roof :)
It would pee me right off ;)

Don't they just LOVE the top of the car!!!!! I think that the dark material absorbs the heat of the sun and feels good to them when they are laying on it. Remember the first video I ever posted on the forum back in 2013?.............

Get yourself a a pair of Marigold Gloves and rub over surface - works a treat to get the dog hair off the carpets and boot trim in our daily.

Don't let the neighbours see you in them though =))

And to prevent having to repeat wrap the cat in Sellotape as well!! JIM
Or you could shave the cat.=)) And stick a jumper on it so it doesn't get cold. Doesn't it look p***** off.

Get one of those super soaker water guns, cats learn by association i.e sleep on car roof wet pussy, sleep on floor dry pussy.
