Keeping cats off wife's car in garage

I've caught cats like that a couple times, but both came out alive and relatively unharmed and relatively full-furred. I believe they never snoozed by radiators again, though.

That's one SCARY noise, though.

Gonna rethink that "garage" + "sprinkler" thought, Charlie?

get on the hood of the car, especially it seems after it is cleaned.

them off? I tried a motion detector chime, but the cats ignored it and it was irritating becasue it would go off when people walked by. My next idea is to try to make a square the size of the hood out of pvc and suspend it from the ceiling to sort of "block" them from getting on it.

hi tech thing to do would be to install some sort of motion detection valve that would briefly open when motion is sensed and would be connected to an air tank to "blow" at the cat, however this is probaly too expensive and I know of no motion detedction valves that would perform this way.

Indeed. Cat foot prints? They are a problem? For which anal retentive type?

The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie

Park the car out side. Let the cats inside.

Otherwise, a car cozy. Something as simple as a blanket. Sew magnets into the corners to keep it on the car.

Because the cats will go up on top of what ever is big enough to get on, because it is there, and they are cats.

Or buy a shower curtain with magnets in the bottom.

The inside of my work truck is filled with dog hair..the outside is covered with kitty foot prints.

And I never wear underwear.

Learned that in the jungle.

What I hate is when you start the car (in the old days when there were belt driven fans to suck air through the rad.) and the neighbours red and white cat runs out from under the engine compartment. Then you need to hose down the engine compartment.

I could do that with all off the shelf components, and not very expensively either... or do you mean free and have me do all the detailed design work for you?

Same difference.

I used a piece of fabric with some old security sensor magnets in the corners to keep the frost off the windshield when working nights. Everybody else is scraping windshields, I just pull it off and leave ...

A plastic shower curtain is cheap and -slippery-.

A used one that has lost plasticizer may be safer for the paint. Some new tarps have a warning about damage to car finishes. jsw

IF I had one, I might have considered it.

Goodwill for a set of sheets / pillow case.

I'da had that sucker by the throat so fast. Not to mention I'd have reported him to whomever idiot vets get reported to. If he feels that way about "any" animal then he shouldn't be a veterinarian .
