Default Keeping cats off the car !!!

How on earth do i keep the cat off my Scooby, spent all day washing/polishing/waxing the car, only to find a cat sat on the bonnet. Scaring the cat away with water will only make them scratch the bonnet as they try and flee.

What can i do to keep them off, i was hoping that someone might make some polish with a built in cat repelant - cant find any !!!!!

PLEASE HELP............

Realistic way is to buy a car cover.

Other than that there is no real way to do it succesfully.

LOL, That is why I love cats, they have more cheek than a whale's ****.I've got 2, it can be quite amusing watching them curl one off in next door but 2's garden. ,my 2 take a crap like an SAS man in the desert , I have trained them well though, they never crap in my garden, I'd love to teach them not to crap in the neighbours garden, but that would be trespassing, I have found with cats that you need to be there at the right moment to "train" them.

I tried to "train" him but the woman who owns him has eyes like a **** house rat and i would get caught

My cat only craps in next doors gravel path and like yours, never in our garden.

Training the cat not to crap in the garden is easy, thats why they do it elsewhere. I can't see the problem, they only crap in long grass or soil, if your grass is long then cut it.

As a gardener, I find there's nothing better than breaking into a crusty cat egg with the spade, smells a bit, but I prefer to think of them as time release fertiliser pellets, as opposed to cat turds

Me dad has this thing on the wall dont know what its called, basically it has a sensor and when somthing moves in garden its sets of this sound through a speaker. Humans cant hear it but cats can, scares them away. Seems to work quite well dont get any cats in the garden, were as before they were always digging his garden up.

Once you've cleaned the car, put a dog on it...

You could always go to the zoo, speak to one of the lion keepers and get a couple of lion turds, crush them, sprinkle under car and hey presto, no more cats! I tried it, my cats didn't come home for a week.

This will only work until said errant feline works out that the dog can't get out of the car. Once moggychops realises, it'll spend more time on the car, nonchalantly taunting the poor woofy into a state of hysteria...

1 Get a pint glass
2 Half fill with fairy liquid
3 fill remainder with water
4 sneek up on said cat thats sitting on your bonnet looking smug with its self
5 launch liquid all over cat
6 smile when you don't see cat for a while after
7 smile even more when you pull up and cat just sits there looking at your car, wanting to jump on bonnet, but is remembering the time it cleaned its self covered in fairy liquid.

It works. I know

Lion-squeeze; the scent in big cat dung will keep them away and it is sold commercially.

See here http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/showthread.php?t=357790

For cat training device and before anyone start it's non-lethal but fun. I can see there is a history on here of cat thread problems and I don't want to start any myself. Suffice it to say all the neighbours cats stay the **** out of my garden now I've "trained" them.

Ever stopped to consider that the number of threads regarding negative effects of cats may be indicative to the scale of the problem? The tide is turning, and selfish pet owners don't like it one bit!

Sensible suggestions that don't result in anything that can be construed as cruel and we shall all be happy users eh?
Thread will stay open and people won't get upset.

Cheers,

Michelle.
