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.

Ok I can't right now because at work but if you have a look on there you should be able to find it. Was posted yesterday and a response today i think.

The vandal. Now questioning my decision to let this (once) stray into the family.

This is a joke - to the posters who for some reason have assumed I am sort of cat abuser.

Look at that innocent face and those spotless white paws!

(Did you manage to get the paint off his/her pads, OP?)

I think it looks better Grin
Trim the fur that has paint on.

It looks like he has put on gloves to hide the evidence 😁

I always thought you couldn't see claws on cat prints?

There are cat prints in the concrete on the path under the corner of the cladding on our house. They've been there since before we moved in so we have no idea when they were made but every time I see them I always wonder about the cat that left them.

There are cat prints on ancient manuscripts and Roman tiles too so they've been doing this sort of thing for millennia!

One of my cats always have visible claws on her back feet’s. She makes a pleasant clicks clacky sound when trundling around on our wood floors 😬

Our family cat walked down our newly concreted drive way. My dad had to fill in the trail of pawprints with some hastily mixed cement. Nearly 60 years on the cement filled bits are still visible on the drive, immortalising our cat who's been deceased over 50 years 😆

At least it was the driveway, not the car.

Their back claws don't retract fully, hence the sound. They also get a bit longer as they get old, which is why vets start trimming the back as well as front claws eventually.
