Subject: Clearcoat scratches

I left my car in the driveway for a few hours this weekend, and
the neighbor's cat, Monster, apparently jumped into the cockpit for
a look around.  Unfortunately in doing so Monster left scratch marks 
across the rear fender.  Luckily it doesn't look/smell like he decided
to leave his scent too...

The scratches are in the clearcoat and I was able to polish half
of them out with some safecut swirl remover.  Question is, should I
try to touch up what's left with clearcoat or leave it alone?

The scratches are in the "wife couldn't find them until I told her where
to look" category.

Thanks,
jdm

ps - What a great car!  True any time of year, but somehow these sunny
fall days are just magic.
