Counterpoint
The driver employed the correct parking strategy and should be seen as someone who cares about their ride

Heh. Guess that and the fact they are such cat lovers they allow them to walk all over the car and leave their prints behind.

I've seen much worse. If that made you cry, some of the cars i've seen would make you have a seizure

I drive what is probably the dirtiest LS400(the exterior anyway, I keep the interior spotless) this side of the Rockies. I park in a dirt and gravel driveway with 5 other college students, who kick up a lot of dirt coming and going. I haven't washed my car since July, since I see no reason to spend $8 washing my car just to have it dirty again tomorrow.

Depends on what you call damage. My wifes uncle HAD to bring his cat with him while he stayed with us during the Christmas holiday. Sure enough on a wet cold day that F'ing cat jumps up on the hood of my car. Those "harmless" sandy paw prints left fine scratches all over my hood. Took 2 rounds with the buffer to get them all out.

Cat + Dirt + Paint =
