tell your neighbor you'll call the pound

Does your city have a leash law for cats? As funny as that sounds, our city restricts cats to their yards if not on a leash . If not, then these:



1 Put the car in the garage

2 Get a dog that doesn't like cats and stake him out close to the car

3 Motion detector hooked up to sprinklers

4 Catch cat while in bad behavior and hit it w/ a blast of water

5 "Scat Mat"

6 If kept indoors put a blanket on the hood and spray w/ wolf scent

7 Cayenne pepper around the drive

8 Buy a spray can full of cat repellent

9 Cat-a-pult aimed back at their yard

10 Put MF booties on the cat and let it buff your car :chuckle:



BTW I've had some pretty cool cats and for many reasons never let them out.

Cayenne pepper is probably your best bet without running afoul of the law/your neighbors. Just sprinkle a circle of it between where the cat comes from and your car is.

Place mouse traps with the trap side down. When they are disturbed they will pop into the air and scare the beejeezus outta the cat. The trap is already sprung when it jumps so it won't hurt the cats.

I bet you have scratches on your hood or roof from the cat walking on them as well. Give your neighbor an estimate from the local body shop on the cost of repainting your hood or roof. I bet they keep the cat in the house after that.

Try aluminum foil - some/most cats wont walk or lay on it...

Pop it in the butt with the pellet gun......only if a pump not a co2 powered one. You can regulate the pumps just enough to sting its posterior.

I have mouse traps.......that one sounds good. gonna give that a try thanks....

The mouse trap idea sounds like a good one to me. All I had to do to a problem cat was catch it near my truck once and shoot it with a super soaker. Worked like a charm!
