Cat walked through paint all over brand new drive!

Dh was painting garden furniture on our front lawn. When he came in for lunch he did not account for our cat jumping on table (never does this). We are now left with a trail of painted paw prints on our 2 month drive!

What can we do?? White spirit did NOTHING.

If it makes you feel any better OP this was my reskimmed window ledge improved by the cat.

So unique, no one will have a window ledge like that. Or your drive OP.

You've used white spirit on your cat?

Is your cat ok??

it'll wear off, I really wouldn't worry about it

My first thought was poor cat I hope he doesn't lick the paint off and that it wiped off when he jumped onto the grass.

I got garden paint off block paving with fairy and a nail brush...

We need pictures of the paws 🐾

I’d be more worried about the cat licking its paws to try and get the paint off, tbh!

Mostly I'd leave them for the weather to work at them but if you want to do something, I'd maybe try an abrasive, like wire wool.

Drive looks like this.

If the cat managed to get the entire paw maybe I would leave. But for some reason they mark are just random oblongs.

Leave them. In 6 months you'll find it funny rather than annoying!

Piss paw planning to be fair

Leave them as a permanent reminder of your arsehole cat 😂
