Default Odd car ?

Well this is probably the weirdest question i have asked but here is my scenario:

I work at a Veterinarian clinic and the Dr lives at his clinic (yes this is Montana). Anyway his wife is a cat lover. She has 10 or more that live both inside and out. Well to get to the point i was parking my car next to the building but i had cat tracks on it so i then started parking roughly 40 yards from the building thinking that would help since it was next to the highway. Sure enough I have tons more cat footprints all over my car. So my ? is how do I keep them off of it? Is there any way? I thought my grandma once told me that mothballs would work but I’m not sure. If that does work..would it be safe on the paint.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks
JD

Car cover = good idea... there's just the inconvenience of putting it on and taking it off when you get to work and when you leave. However, that's probably better than having kitty feet prints all over the car...

Yeah that is a pretty good idea and i can have one custom made locally but the only problem is it is snowing here and the car would be either coated in snow or in dirt so wouldn't putting a car cover on and off do damages to my paint?

Thanks
