Guys,
I just moved in last thursday.
and my neighbor's cat just scratched my car a couple times.
do u guys know how to repair it?
it costs about 500 bucks only to replace the window(including the labor cost)..
these are the pictures. the 1st one is on the rear window(right side) and the 2nd one is on the top of the car.
Thanks guys..

This should fix it. 
Just kidding
It should only be clear coat, so you could try some Meguiar's Scratch X.
There are quite a few posts in the detailing forum about the product.

I was thinking to give the cat 10 drops of Hydrochloric acid. but, in America, I might get sued because of the "Animal Cruelty Law."
So, I'm not planning to kill him.. LOL.. It crossed my mind though.
How about the window? I don't think it can be waxed or polish.
Thanks BMW#6..

I can't believe that the damage in the window glass caused by cat's nails 
it's something else 
it's something else Are u sure?
because I want to talk to the cat's owner either today or tomorrow.
I wouldn't talk about the scratches on the window if it is not because of the cat's nail.
Thanks a lot for telling me this though.
All I saw that the cat was sleeping on the top of my car (Twice).

That glass scratch has been probably caused by a sharp metalic or stone thing.

No I don't have, but my parents have had cats, so I'm sure that it can't be caused from cats. A cat could scratch the paint clearcoat with it's nails, but not a glass.

Thanks Guys.
I've talked to the owner.
He apologized to what has happened.
He offered me to have him buff my car, but I would prefer to leave it to the professional. I've asked him to put his stupid cat inside his house all the time.
Considering at his financial condition, I probably won't ask him to pay for the damage.
I just got the car tinted, and I'll get my car detailed this friday. I'll post some pictures.
Once again,
Thanks guys for the advice.
