The Alternative Way
How many times have you ever come across the sight of your car with scratch marks and/or residue stains that were left by the cat sleeping on the hood the previous night?
I know exactly how you feel, the anger and frustration of it all; fortunately there is a solution.
Other than using your daddy's 12-Gauge shotgun, there are other options available that are more straight-forward and cheaper than you'd

think.
1.
Car cover.
You could buy a cheap car cover from your local auto accessory store if you're not planning to invest in a quality cover like the ones found at your local car dealer. But be aware that cat's claws can easily tear up a weak cover. Look for covers that uses a strong material that lasts.
2.
Orange Peels.
Cats absolutely hate the smell of oranges or most citrus fruits, I 'm sure there is a scientific explanation to this but I can't explain why. I use to scatter orange peels around the car and even on the car itself; not a single cat in sight. Just a friendly reminder that orange peels won't last long and will start to decompose sooner or later.
3.
Mints
Cats also hate the smell of mints, but I wouldn't recommend wasting a whole pack of mentos.
4.
Pepper Granules
Just like dogs, cats also hate pepper granules too. But be careful though, the pepper can get into their eyes and cause inflammation. If you decide to use pepper granules, sprinkle some around the car, the cat won't like the grittiness and will be forced to lick it off; HOT !!! It might be wise to leave a bucket of ice cold water close-by.
5.
Water Sprinkler
Cats won't go near your car if its all wet and rainy looking.
6.
Mothballs
Drop a few in a jar or can, cover it up and pierce a few holes on top or around the sides if using a can and leave it around the car. No cat is going to bother your car anymore.
7.
Commercial Cat repellent (aerosol type)
A very obvious option that can be purchased at your local supermarket. Look for types that are organic or safe to use around children and plants, because the older type absolutely stinks and will repel you too.
