    Re: Keeping cat off car hood

    My car leaks coolant...no cat problem. (Joking)

    A spray bottle might be the cheapest method. Squirt him. He'll move. Within a few days he'll get tired of it and move on.

    Re: Keeping cat off car hood

    Put some tape sticky side up along your hood and the cat will stop getting up there for a while. Cats hate tape on their feet.

    I did this on my car and came out in the morning to a pile of mangled tape as is stuck to the cat soon as it jumped up and immediately jumped right back off the car.

    I also had to buy a car cover to protect the car because the cats loved to claw at my brand new convertible top putting some nice claw marks in it. I just about took the cat out to the shooting range that day!

    Cat freaks out and all claws go nuts trying to get away. Hmmm. No.

    I don't know what kind of urine it takes to get rid of the grizzly bears, but it's gonna' take some kind of crazy wild animal urine to get rid of those grizzlies.

    Maybe the live trap idea is the way to go.

    If you have the money....go straight to Yeti urine

    Re: Keeping cat off car hood

    Wolf's urine is the most notable of "chemicals" for use as a cat deterrent.
    I use to buy mine from the "Pee Man" up in Maine:
    It was kinda greenish: Made the Wife a little squeamish.

    AGO now carries several Wolf's Chemicals...
    There's even at least one of a "meanish-greenish-nature".
    As to cats:
    Don't know how well...it will repel.

    Electric deer fence.

    I have an old friend that moved to Northern California and the first night his car had three cats sleeping on it. He built a two by two wooden frame, covered it in lightweight chicken wire and hooked the deer fence unit to it. Cat touches it and ZAP! Doesn't kill them but they jump five feet in the air and head for the hills. He says it only takes him ten seconds to open it in the morning when he drives off and ten more to shut the front after he parks for the night. Then he just flips a switch on the side of the garage and no more cat, possum, raccoon, deer or any other critter problem.

    He got it from "deerbusters"
    Plug -In Fence Energizers | Deer Busters

    Best hundred bucks he ever spent.
