Stick the cat (head first) into a tall boot.
Go outside where you have plenty of room.
Take a wire brush to the cats ***.
Pour turpentine on the cats ***.
Toss the boot (w/ cat inside) onto your front lawn.
uhhhhhh... think I'm pickin up on a few things here: 1. A lotta bikers hate cats, 2. A lotta other bikers merely dislike cats, and 3. The remaining bikers may like their cat but would run it through a wood chipper if it touched their bike.
Maybe it's time for your kids to learn what it'd be like in real life. Have THEM come up with a solution. Give them one week to figure something out, or you will solve this problem. They want a cat, then they gotta step up and own it. Keep that stinky filthy rodent away from my 20,000 vehicle.
If the wife picked up a new lawn chair, but it rubbed up against the bike causing a scratch would you be worried about resolving the issue? What if she loved the new chair? Even if the kids loved the chair?
Just because one person likes something, no matter how much, the need to be held responsible for the problems that arise because of it.
Dude, you've got every right to be pissed. Think of it this way; if you got a big cool dog, and he took a big cool **** on your wifes drivers seat, would she be apologetic about not wanting it to happen again?
If it were me, I'd tell the rest of the family "You've got seven days to make sure this won't happen again, and I want to know how your going to do it. If I'm not happy with the plan you come up with then I'll make sure it wont happen again. Trust me, ladies, you wont like my fix, so you'd better come up with something that will work. Once you fix this problem THEN we can talk about how we are going to fix the damge this animal you love so dearly has caused."
All the above AND get the bike fixed and present the bill to the kids. Give them a fixed amount of time to raise the money. I realize they are not old enough to work outside the home, but maybe chores for credit...
Wife #1 was a cat lover - when looking for a possible wife #2 - NO CATS at all - if fact on our first date 02/92.... We were at a friends house for dinner, while sitting in the back yard talking - I saw a cat walking the fence.... I ask my date (now wife) what she thought of cats "when I see them in my back yard, I get my sons pellet pistol and shoot them" My kinda girl...
