Cats jumping / sleeping on cars

[EvolutionDetail]

So... i am currently living with some friends, where i park OUTSIDE.

And lately there is a cat in the neighborhood that loves to sleep on cars.

Well it is leaving foot print and scratches all over my roof and hood.

Any idea on how to keep cats OFF?

I taped a flannel bedsheet to the underside of a tarp. Put tarp on hood, hold down with a water jug to prevent sliding and marks on hood.

To keep cats off, try bowl of citrus which they hate. If you can catch them on hood, a spray bottle with water can hit them from 10-feet

Problem is i have never even seen a cat on my street in day light.
The cat comes out in EARLY MORNING, like 1-5 type of time lol

If i do manage to spray water, will that PREVENT them from coming back?

Live with it, cover it every night or garage it, that's the reality.

Talk to your local animal control and see if you can borrow a live trap. Once trapped take it to the pound.

I second this.

I am having the exact same problem. My research has led me to the following motion-activated water sprinkler system. I am very curious to see whether it would work:
