contents We consider a variation of Cops and Robber, introduced in [D. Cox and A. Sanaei, The damage number of a graph, [Aust. J. of Comb. 75(1) (2019) 1-16] where vertices visited by a robber are considered damaged and a single cop aims to minimize the number of distinct vertices damaged by a robber. Motivated by the interesting relationships that often emerge between input graphs and their Cartesian product, we study the damage number of the Cartesian product of graphs. We provide a general upper bound and consider the damage number of the product of two trees or cycles. We also consider graphs with small damage number.
