Cat scratched my G help! [pics inside]

Cat was in my garage while the I was storing my G for the winter... They don't seem to be deep but I've never worked with fixing scratches before. I have one of those colour matched paint pens from Nissan but I think that's over kill. Hoping a polish or something will fix it. What can I do? Pics below.

some polish should take care of it. all of the scratches look superficial. next winter use a car cover while storing or lock the cats out of the garage.

Haha thanks guys really relieved. However when I run my fingernail through them it's not smooth, is that indicative of something?

I would just get a good rubbing compound and try to buff it out. If that doesn't work (and if you're brave enough) you can sand it with a very high grit sandpaper to even out the scratches and then compound and polish. If nothing else, any pro detailer should be able to take care of that no prob.

I'm thinking of grabbing quixx. Is their compound high quality?

I just looked it up seems real high quality, and expensive. Should I apply it and buff? Or take sand paper to it then use the polish? It can apparently remove 2000grit sand paper marks so that seems like a good way to go.
