My neighbors cat keeps climbing the hood of my car!!

The other solution is to get rid of the Z and get an old 60's or 70's muscle car that has an old metal crank driven fan blade, my father had an old Chrysler Imperial that had so much space between the front grill and the radiator you could fit 2 illegals under the hood. It was common for us to hear what sounded like a screeching fan belt during many winter start ups, what it really turned out to be was shreaded cats, trying to stay warm next the the radiator, during cold weather. We called the car the "CATOMATIC".

Nuisance or threating, damaging animals are all the same, its a shame when an animal has to be eliminated , due to the negligence of their owners or other circumstances with wild animals.

Ask the same question about Pit Bulls or viscious dogs and most ppl will tell you they should all be eliminated.

all im saying is people are usually more sympathetic to dogs (imagine Lassie

), but animal cruelty is animal cruelty, whether its a dog, cat, or rat.

Maybe off topic slightly but read this one LOCKPORT: Pitbull attacks toddler » Local News » Tonawanda News

That's due to dogs being more intelligent animals. They're more of companions that obey and protect.

A cat is on par with a rodent, to be honest.

Man!!!

7 pages and this cat isn't dead yet.

A friend has two suggestions:
"fence charger" (I'm not convinced that would work with a cat jumping on the car, but it should keep them from scratching/rubbing on it)
"The _nice_ method would be to put a heating pad nearby, sprinkled with a bit of catnip. Cats are on the car because they're looking for warmth."

Microwave should warm it right up

How do you guys suggest I handle the situation?

I don't like cats but no need to kill them. I had a cat that loved the convertible top on my 300zx, would even do it's claw sharpening on it! Thought about a BB gun but then I might hit my car. Then I figured out a humane way. I bought battery operated motion sensor sprinkler heads. They are like 10-15$ on ebay. I set these up and after a few days of water spraying the cat, the cat no longer even walks on that side of the house. The sprinkler heads have become a keep out sign for the cat, any where I put them, whether they have water attached or not the cat avoids. Just a thought.

This way he will walk away with a limp and can't climb back on the roof.
