How can I keep my outside cat off my car?
Lisa C asked:
I live on a small farm. It is nice to have a few cats for the barn. 2 of my cats stay off of the cars, and I have never had any problems with them. My sister-in-laws Aunt gave me a cat because she could not keep her anymore. Ever since I have cat tracks all over my car.. I can’t stand it any more.

you can put some pet spray around your car, they sell it like at wal mart, keeps pets and animals away. lucas g

The only thing you can do is buy a car cover. Otherwise, you’ll continue to have cat tracks. Don’t blame the cats ! They’re just doing what comes naturally. redrock

if you find a solution to that they I suggest you patent it and sell it to the highest bidder. I tried everything and nothing worked, they just moved to the neighbors car. good luck. desert_kats

I would think a few paw prints on your car is a small price to pay for having the company of cats and living on a farm……however.
Cats don’t like the smell of citrus (eg. oranges and lemons). I don’t suggest you tie a bag of lemons to your windscreen wipers, but you can buy lemon smelling wax / polish which, if applied regularly, should keep your rogue moggies at bay. the_lipsiot

Oh dear…cats tend to do whatever the heck they wanna do….it’s just cats. You could try a can of pennies & make a racket when you see him there or squirt him him off… it’ll p%#s him off & maybe he’ll get the message. Just be glad you don’t have peacocks…..they ruin cars totally!! PAMELA G

TRY SHOOTING THE CAT HAHAH …. NAH REALLY THERE’S NOT NOTHING YOU CAN do to keep the cat off the car other than bringing the cat inside and then… you will still have other people’s cats getting on the car . The animal likes to be warm I believe that’s all it is anyways. dixieprayerlady

First, your cat sleeps on your car. It is warm. You won’t convince a cold cat to sleep somewhere else. You wouldn’t, the cat won’t either.
There is only one way. Only one.
But a dog and chain it near you car.
Cat won’t go near it.
Otherwise, you are going to have to keep your cat indoors… or give the cat away. Chem Man

Do you have a car alarm? If so, activate it whenever you catch the cat on your car. Assuming, of course, that it isn’t at some ungodly hour in the morning. tkron31

Just give up and keep a soft rag in your car. thats the only thing i have found that works in alotof years. With luck the offending cat will wander away soon. One idea is mouse traps set on the hood. i hear this works. depends how desperate you are. La-z Ike

Not a whole lot you can do about that - they like the warmth. Just be sure to check - and double check - under the hood EVERY time you want to go somewhere… I’ve seen too many mangled kitties that found a warm place to nap under there… not a fun part of my job… EJ

OK cats are predatory animals, to do this they need to be high so they can see everything that is happening around them. your cat is doing nothing wrong in his or her mind and if it is over 8 months old it is very unlike that it ever change but one thing you can do is to make a platform with a latter of some sort that is about the same height or a little taller than your car. you can look it up on the web as a cat house but sadly you will have to search as cat house will bring other results as well sorry about those maybe cat house plans would be better oldslowchevy
