Hmmm... I'm not sure why... But this seems to come to mind for some reason!

That is about as bad as your neighbor's cat (with claws) jumping on your freshly waxed hood. Even the claws can't keep it from sliding off...

I was thinking the same thing Rick

When I was a lad the first time I saw a 911 up close was when Perry McCarthy (at the time a sometime F1 driver) turned up at a mates house in new burgundy porker – mates cat then ambled outside and proceeded to chase a fly about, said fly then landed in the middle of the bonnet – cat then jumped at it, claws out…missed the fly and slid down the front of the car. Not a happy sound, but the damage wasn’t too bad fortunately.

Reminds me of a story....

My neighbor had a lovely calico cat, loved that thing. I had a Great Dane named Butch. One day I found Butch in the back yard tossing somthing up in the air, catching it in his mouth, having a ball... you can guess what it used to be. I felt HORRIBLE to say the least, got the corpse away from him and cleaned it up, even shampooed the fur and dried it. That night I slipped over to my neighbors porch and layed her out on the lounge, hoping they would just figure it died in its sleep as it really cleaned up nice! Guess it worked as a couple weeks went by and got no knocks on my door.

Had a block BBQ and of course the "cat" neighbors were invited. In passing the guy says "Strangest thing. Did you know our cat died a couple weeks ago"? I responded with a sad "no, sorry to hear it". "well, that isn't the odd part... what is REALLY strange is that we buried the cat out in the woods and the next day found her on our porch all cleaned up!"

Ok, so its an old joke, and it's supposed to be a rabbit.. sue me.

Thanks for that story - gave me a good laugh this morning!

Good one, Gary. I'd never heard that one before. Any joke about Great Danes eating cats is fine by me.

You have to teach the cats to appreciate and respect the P-cars...mine is an expert! He is checking this 912 wheel for bent spots before restoration!!!

I have a little story. A close friend of mine has 3 Porsches which he's had since new, a 86 944T, 94 964T, 01 996T.. He keeps all these in a storage building behind the office. He found mice droppings under the hood of the 944 one day, went in the office and someone said why don't you get a few cats, that'll keep the mice at bay. A couple weeks went by after he had the cats and he was pulling into the building with the pickup and noticed the 964 (beautiful black turbo w/17,000mi) has something that looked like dust all over it. White cat fur. Turns out the cats decided the roof was THE vantage look out spot or something. The car was a tad too slippery for them to just climb up on... He spent $500 getting the scratches out of it Good bye cats....

I once went away on holiday for a week (not in the 964 - Shame on me!) and accidentally shut next door's cat in the garage with the Porsche...

It made a sort of 'nest' of dust, cloths and all sorts of detritus on the front lid.

Fortunately, they heard it after a couple of days and my parents came to let it out. After they called me, I asked my dad if the car looked OK. 'Oh, yes' he said, 'There didn't seem to be anything that I could spot'. Yeah, right...

bzh on the loose

Pedro...

your cat looks a bit cramped in those wheels... time to go for 19"!
