Do those plastic OWL things work on cats? Best bet is to chase it away.... leave food behind a neighbors house!

Buy a cage put a pillow in it and some cat food in it should go in there for now on. There's a cat that wonders my street and now lives 2 doors down from me. The neighbor bought a cage and left some food in it and now it made the cage it's home.

How about you stay in your car one night and wait for the cat to lay on your hood.

As soon as it does, just LAY ON YOUR HORN. Should hopefully scare the s*** outta it. Couple nights of that and should scare it off completely. No?

We use a squirt bottle to teach our cats that things are bad. They don't learn from just a scare, there needs to be something in the process that they can't stand/that they would never want to happen. Scaring is to them a fluke and they don't put the two and two together.

But, get a hose and coax the cat onto the hood, then turn the hose on and spray the damn thing down. Cats absolutely HATE water that is not on their terms...you have to make sure you do it 3-4 times straight without there being a time when they get away with it (or again, they will think it was a fluke they got wet). It would be mean...but you could also catch the cat, put on a colar and leash, place it on your hood, water it down...rope in the cat, place it on your hood, water it down...and go like that. 2-3 times of that and the cat will claw the hell out of you when you walk near the car, but that is what you want

I would accidentally spill some anti-freeze in a bowl next to your car.

Car covers at Buena Park Nissan are $170

I need to invest in one soon though, because the trees (and cats) at my moms house like to attack my car everynight.
