Thanks, she's as cute as buttons. Although, you are game putting yours on your bonnet, my cats have claws similar to that of a 250kg North American bear haha

My first concious memory after I was born, was looking into the deep blue eyes of my parents Seal point Siamese "Bun-Bun", and ever since, our family have always had a "Him" & a "Her" Siamese. After 51 years I broke the chain by adopting Mother & Daughter "Moggies" from the SPCA (they were 9 & 8, so would've been put down if I hadn't). Maybe one day we'll get a couple of Siamese again .
PS: The last two, "Ko-Ko" & "Fudge" lived for over 16 years, which ain't bad for exotics.

Haha, I didn't put her there. i was trying to take a pic of the new badge and the cat decided she wanted to be in on it. As I said, it does know better than to have its' claws out when around the car (she doesn't show me that respect!...and I have scars to prove it.)

This being the cat-car thread...
Today I got a Klingon message about a tail lamp. My head was buried in the boot as I tightened up the last nuts after replacing the lamp when our cat, who has the energy and weight of a grown cat allied with the mental interests of a kitten, decided it would be a great moment to leap from the Soarer roof to the top of the open boot lid, driving the catch-spike into my back. I know that part of the catch is normally called the tongue, but I have felt a tongue on my back and I think I know what I am talking about here! The cat now switched mental modes to one of great maturity and wisdom by deciding that a spot at the far end of the garden under a bush was really where it ought to be right now, and departed for it with great speed.
On a previous occasion it ran up the open bonnet and peeked at me over the edge, interested in the way it slowly started accelerating down toward me. At least I caught that one.
I do not know what dogs do to you when you are repairing a car but I have serious doubts about this "pets reduce stress" thing.
