Veeeerrrry big problem

How do I keep cats of my car . My car seems to be a cat magnet. Our cat sits on my car every time she gets a change for it. Same with my girlfriend her cats. I stop at her house, they jump on my car (probably because of the hot engine block). I tried to scare them away, but this didn't have the effect I wanted. The cats got so scared they put out their nails on my hood and pulled a little sprint . Next time I stopped there, again the cats on my hood.

Anyone know a sollution?

BTW: I'm not putting a Rottweiler in my car

Yea, cats love the heat which is coming from the engine bay! Iīve got three ideas for that: 1.) Use some barbed wire to keep it away!
2.) put your car under electricity! and 3.) try to get a garage!

Um,....I think that didnīt help you at all except the idea with the garage maybe!:silly2: Seriously now. I think there is no other way to keep cats away from your car than getting a garage for it! Maybe such a system to keep martens away from cars will help, too. I dunno...

As long as it are just cats all is fine. But if this small little animal (dunno the name, in german it is 'marder'- like the tank) comes to visit ur car (exactly: ur engine bay) ull need to chak all ur wires

Happens at leats 5 times a year to me

Thatīs what I was talking about, too. A `Marderī is a `martenī in english! There are a lot of them over here but they donīt seem to like cables and stuff made by Honda. They always prefered the BMW my father used to have till he bought the A4!

Indeed their are worse things than a cat sitting on your car. But it's not much fun that you always have a cat shaped mud spot on your hood.

Maybe it would help to buy such an alarm system which is always saying `Please step away!ī when anybody is coming too close!?

Hey!
Up here in Norway we have this cheap ass electricity chain, selling lots of useless things. Among other crap they have a battery driven little thing you can put everywhere, and when there's movement in front of it, it barks like a dog! Should be great for you! My grandparents cat once sat on my hood, I threw a snowball at its ass so it ran for about 2 hours...not nice, but It never sat on my hood again..

Did you try a RAM upgrade to your cat ?? Or just format it !!

I had a problem last year. One cat decide to get inside the engine bay (bellow the throttle body where you cant reach with your hands, you know, the worst place to be when you try to reach him) while I was parked near a friends house. When I left I start earing "miaus" inside the car and stoped. After openned the hood it took me 40 minutes for the F#$%% cat to get out by him self. IT WAS A F#$%& STORMY DAY TOO and I got my shorts wet because of the damn cat.

Thats life
