Looks like damage from a purse to me.
I asked the owner and he says it's the neighbor's cat.
I just posted some pictures and a video for the LIVE detailing class where we'll be seeing what we can do LIVE in real-time to remove these RIDS
Check them out here,

All vehicles especially daily drivers inevitably accumulate RIDS, over time, and this is true despite (or perhaps because of) an ultra-religious devotion to paint perfection. But be not discouraged, fellow autogeeks, for there is another auto-altruism to be mindful of: at some point in the life of every vehicle there will be an accident (hopefully minor, just a few bumper scratches or bent side panel) requiring a repaint of a portion of vehicle. Get a quote for a full repaint and discuss how much clear should be thrown on.

The car I actually drive is ten years old and no RIDS yet. I attribute this to having a garage, my wash technique, and touching the paint infrequently. ( gotta fight the urge to remove slight dust accumulation)
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

Still, for most folks RIDS are a part of "normal wear and tear". RIDS = Random Isolated Deeper Scratches
