Default Alarm Recommendation

At the moment i have a Laser line alarm on the car which is about 7 years old
i want to update and have a new alarm fitted .
Is there an alarm with a proximity sensor that will stop a neighbours cat from climbing on the bonnet and parking its **** there and climbing onto the roof
then it slides down the front screen and off of the bonnet scratching the paint work on the way.
Tried soaking it with buckets of water when i catch it on there ,but it does it when im at work i come home and there are its bloody foot prints all over the bonnet
Any recommendations ? Budget £400
Cheers
Gary

The easiest way of stopping the cat from sitting on your car is to send your neighbour an estimate for getting the car painted. It's not your problem, it's thiers. They should keep control of their pets. If they don't they are liable to pay for any damage caused.

An alarm isnt going to help you much and it will probably drive you mad during the night if another cat takes a liking to you car.

Cant help with the Alarm but re the cat try a Cat Chaser they work via Ultrasonic noise that stops cats and other animals from staying one place, the noise can only be heard by cats unless you are very close to the unit. They are either mains or battery and are about £20 and are triggered by a PIR.

Think we got our unit from Robert Dyas but I am sure you can get them via the net.

remote start is a good feature, especially in winter, and for the turbo timer feature if programmed.

but im a toad fan now after 7 years of fitting cliffords. sadly if your wanting features galore you have to go with clifford.
