How do I keep my neighbors cats off of my hood of my car without harming them?

Put a toy snake on the hood and on the trunk of your car. You can also use an old piece of garden hose cut the length of a snake. I have used this in the past. Found out recently I need to try it again. It's worth a try if you hate cat prints on your car!!!! I also used a spray bottle that sprays a stream and would spray and yell "get off my cat" or whatever.

I bought a motion sensor and added a PA horn to it, it works, but.... he found a spot on the hood it does not sense, so I had to adjust it so there are no dead areas (hang from roof)

hi, cheez, this is a really old thread, from 2007 and not likely OP will be back. It would be helpful if you started your own new thread with this information so everyone can access it.

How about a .22 rifle?

How about you take your smartass comments elsewhere?

If only... people shouldn't have cats if they are going to let them roam and annoy the neighbours.

I vote a cat trap and a trip to the pound.

I know this is an old thread but couldnt help commenting. One of the homey chracteristics of a neighbourhood is cat tracks on the hood and roof of a car. It isnt like they are damaging anything. Its actually one of lifes little foibles that i dont mind.

its not just dirty little paws for me, they seem to slide of the car when they get off. its leaving many scratches that don't buff out. Try icy cold water, lots of it, and soak the cat every time you see it on the car. it will stop sooner or later
