Blow them off with a hose pipe. Of course you might have to sit there all night to do it

If you know the cats owner have a word, just so when their cat comes back wet thru they know why,
But grab a water pistol with a few drops of lemon juice in, squirt the cat a couple of times and it wont return, they hate citrus, if it does, then swap the lemon for a couple of drops of vinegar,
Do make sure that if the cat is scared when you wet it, that it doesnt run out into a road,
I am a cat owner, I know they can be a pita.

I am fortunate enough to have a garage and a cat. He is curious as fewk and will try to sit on or get in the car whenever I am doing something with it. When the car is locked up it ain't a problem.

Shooing him away and giving him a quick squirt with water normally seals the deal. Until he dries off and comes back :-0

Storm force ones do a perfect job available from scoobyworld

Shame your not closer I’ve got a spare one for sale

I have cats on mine all the time when it’s on no damage at all but funnily enough they don’t go on the car when the covers off and they keep the rats away aswell

They must be able to sense I love them to bits :luvlove: :)

This is where the lemon juice / Vinegar come in, when they lick it off they obviously hate it, after a couple of squirts they stay away,
I had a cat flap that a local cat liked the look of, obviously having my own cat I cant lock it, this worked for me.

Electronic cat flaps are cheap enough, tuned to your cat and nothing else can enter. It saves my small cat from being bashed up nightly by the local thug cats and having all her grub nicked!

RFID Chip, so it only lets in your cat.

We just reversed the cat flap so could only be opened by lifting it up over there heads. Then taught them how to do it. Cheaper and more simple.


Now all ours cats have passed away the problem we now have is stopping other cats pooing in Garden. Didn't know they scratched cars.
