I never actually experimented with a cat, but I know MY claws >(same basic chemistry) can't damage factory paint. I don't think they can. What about those dirty tracks they leave, though? They pick up dirt on their feet and this contains grit which _can_ scratch. Especially after it has rained and it is muddy. No animosity towards kitties intended - we have two cats, which don't sit on cars much, so I can't say. But I do think that a cat which made a frequent habit of car-sitting could degrade your paint noticeably - esp. when jumping from the hood to the roof. -- "No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn" -J.
