Get used to messing with your wiper arms.
The local cats climb on my Westy all the time and drag the wipers down to
the rubber seal.
I set the wiper blades so they rest on the seal and that helps some
unless its a really giant cat.
When I go camping I stop the wipers at full vertical position to keep the
Farow cats from messing up my wipers.
