How do you STOP cats scratching your car?!

[DB4G63]

Okay first up I like cats, infact i pefer them to dogs.
however finally I get my car off the road away from the big dumb animals who cant drive ( and keep hitting me while parked... )
and now I find the little furry creatures with claws are beginning to wreck havok with my paintwork....
I understand they gotta play, but damn the slip and slide with claws!

So I appeal to the Toyspeed forums, is there any way to keep cats off my car??
Does anyone know something I can wash my car with or spray on it or something to stop this. can I deter the furry ones to stay away and play on the neighbourhood cars instead?

I know Im gona get the usual "shoot them.... kill them... stab them!" replies but please I do like cats, Im just trying to protect my car here...

any ideas comments?! my paintwork thanks you!!

Simple, electric fence. Or electric car?

*edit* Nothing big, just enough to make it piss itself.

Put tinfoil on ur car thats grounded and run some rather harmless, though tingly amounts of electricity through it.

ummm - put it in the garage...

Something like skunkshot? that keeps them out of our garden...

or charge the body work nothing too low, 100-200v... it'll also stop theifs too!!!

I heard that if you wash a sheet with fabric softner cats wont go on it because of the feeling, maybe do that and put it on your car :p

If you get ground pepper, and sprinkle a little where they sit for a week or two, they soon get the message. It doesn't hurt them as such, just irritates their nose. That, or you could spend $$ and get that other powder stuff that cats hate, which does the same job. We haven't had problems with our cats scratching, but coming out in the morning and finding muddy paw prints over your bonnet, and smeared down the windscreen, after you've waxed the car the night before.. hmm.

Go to the pet store and you can buy this animal repelent stuff.... i got it to stop my cats and dog getting on the furniture and it worked a treat, you spray it on and you can hardly smell it at all......

anti freeze in a bowl just in front of your car, works wonders

I was about to suggest that.... or just "develop" a mystery radiator "leak" instead

"The Remote Sentry Weapon Systems are robotic machine guns. You may look at it either as a self-operating portable machine gun or as a single-purpose combat robot. The guns use passive infrared, ambient light, radar and ultrasonic motion detector sensors. They may be fitted with CSAD (cat search and destroy) tecnology.

Takes too long though

Pepper is a good one, though it'd be easier to just buy a cheap car cover.

put cat pepper around the out side of it or get a car cover
