You should just get a car cover

The cat likes your car since it's warm, I have a few cats that like to hang around my neighborhood and one even sleeps under my car lol

If you live in the city, chances are that there is an ordinance against letting animals run loose. Dog, cat or horse, doesn't matter.

I had this issue with a neighbor about 10 years ago. It was destroying all the trim on my Mercedes becasue it would slide down the windows and then use it claws to catch itself on the trim. Told her to keep her cat inside or on her property or I would have it picked up. Of course she didn't, so I had the dog (cat?) catcher come out with a trap. First night we caught what's in the photo below. Second night we caught her cat, but she got it out of the trap before animal control got there. Next night, caught it again and animal control picked it up before she got to it. When they arrived, she came out and got into a fight with them. They ended up taking her cat, fining her for all kinds of stuff (including battery on an officer) and she had to go get her cat out of 'jail'. Never saw the cat outside after that.

People say 'Well, it's just a cat. What can it do?'. That cat did about $700 damage to my car (never got the lady to pay) in just a couple of nights (brand new car). I didn't have a garage, so that wasn't an option. And I wasn't going to cover my car every time I pulled in the driveway becasue of an irresponsible pet owner.

BTW-I have a cat (inside only) and a dog (always on a leash), so it's not like I'm some animal hater or anything. I just think people should be responsible for their pets.

First night's catch:



And you'll never train a cat to stay off the hood:

If the owner refuses to be responsible, don't hesitate to call your local ACO.

I don't allow my dogs to roam the neighborhood. I don't have a problem if your pet gets loose every now and then (it happens, even to me), but PLEASE make an effort to keep them on your property. Several ppl in my neighborhood allow their cats to roam at will - I leave the back door open when weather/mosquitoes permit and my Australian Cattle Dog does a good job of keeping them out of the back yard.

Attach a car battery to the body of the car...

Well here is what you do,

Get yourself some sort of weapon BB, Pellet, Pain ball Gun, and shoot the lights of out the cat.

This will solve your issue, and when the neighbors come looking just let them know that you have not seen their precious kitty.

Lol I like some I'd these ideas, the garage I can't. My Nissan Titan is in the garage, since I don't drive it.

I like the paintball gun idea, I have a beast one. Lol I would just hate getting paint on my car.

And the other hard thing is that I haven't actually seen the cat and obviously I don't want to scare him while he's on the hood because he might scratch the car. I think he's going to have to meet the hose.
