What I had to do to keep my own cats off my car was purchase a van, I have accepted my place in the cat world. Dont like it but I accept it. Countless water guns, loud music, even pepper based jelly. Cats finally won. My feline behavioral skills is no better than toe jam. Good side of all that is Jake loves the roomy van and electric windows.

If you are catching them in the act, try spraying them with the hose, or hitting the panic button on your key fob (if you have one). If you don't catch them, well...... rotweiler to stand guard? KIDDING!!!

I don't think you do! Kitties have minds of their own (mine certainly does) and think that objects are placed for THEM and HOW DARE YOU tell them they cannot go there??????

The cat I had growing up once got in the neighbor's car, curled up in the back window and fell asleep. As soon as they started the car, she spazzed out and flew out the window. I don't think she ever got in their car again.

I have heard (but have no idea if it actually works!) that leaning something like a rake or broom against the car, so that the handle sticks up, discourages cats from getting on them. I have no idea why this would work, but it's something that you could try fairly easily.

I don't know anything about this, but there are these ultrasonic devices that are supposed to keep critters away. You can get them for cats that are motion sensored, and they let off I high pitch noise that the cat can hear but you cannot. Just thought that maybe you would want to do some research on them. I threw in a couple of links for you, hope this helps. Now if you could help me keep the cat off of the cabinet mounted paper towel dispenser...lol
