Larry,

A good remedy that we use here in Alabama Is to take a good, dried-out corn cob and rub the varmit's rear-end until it's raw, then pour. a good volume of turpentine on that raw rear-end.
That cat will break the sound barrier getting out of there.

Run a cooler thermostat, that way the hood won't offer as much warmth. Or....Shoot every D^&# last one and invite a bunch of gooks over for a cat fry!

Grandma had that problem and she went out and got a big bottle of cinnimon and sprinkled it around the car and the cats never stepped one foot on it after that. Don't know what it was but it worked. Her car was inside of a garage also. May not work outside.

Put a pan of antifreeze on your hood. Works good.

I trap them and take them about 5 miles down the road to a guys farmhouse. Some come back and some dont, but he has about 20 barn cats and likes all he can get. Coyotes keep them thinned out pretty good for him.

Not that it really matters, 'cuz I just shoot them anyway. got enough cats here the way it is...

Take a few 8-10" pieces of duct tape and put them on the vehicle sticky side up. They really hate that and rarely come back. May take them hours to get it off, fun to watch too.

Put a Rottweiler on your hood and you won't have any more cats. Or leave the hood up. Seriously, I heard that cats can't stand aluminum foil, and that you can lay some on furniture or cars to keep them at bay. The sticky idea may work too.

I have to take exception with that theory. My cats love to play with aluminum foil. They will bring me a piece and have me wad it up so they can play fetch with it. They/we play for hours sometimes.

Lay one of those large sticky rat traps on the hood, one dose of that and they won't come back.

A .22 and really good aim..... About ten years ago I had an Uncle that used to shoot them when they got on the hood of his old ElCamino. The maddest I think I ever saw him is when he shooed one off of it and before he could get off a shot it ran out in the road and got hit. He said that just took all the satisfaction out of it... Seriously we have several shop cats and we've yet to find a way to keep them off the vehicles. They have never scratched anything, just paw prints when it's muddy, but the fact that we haven't seen a snake or a rat in our shop since they showed up is enough of an incentive to let them be, at least for now. Just my .02

We can't kill everything we don't like. If we could some of us would have been buried years ago.

I live in a subdivision where the neighbor thinks cats are great----problem is, the ^%&*$%# migrate to my yard, the wife's flower beds to leave their calling card, etc. I've trapped them over the years, use a .22 to send them to the promised land.
I have 65 acres where I play with my tractor, enjoy the wildlife, etc. The biologist told us that the biggest reason the quail population has all but disappeared in our part of the world, is feral cats. People take their critters and dump them out in the country---dogs will most likely get run over, cats generally go back to their basic instincts and will survive by hunting. If I ever see one, he's a goner as far as I'm concerned. Completely useless---and that's my .02 worth....

We have the same problem. Ferall cats or ditch tigers are hard on nesting ducks and wildlife. I am a feral cat manager,(223 with V-max) I do have an admeration of how tough they are.

I have no problem with cats as long as they are kept under control and in the house. When they are left to run wild and hunt the fields and woods they kill so many things. If I see cats hunting in the woods or fields the 22 comes out and seldom will miss. The DNR just planted some turkeys in the area and I hate to think what a large cat will do to a nest of baby turkeys.

Maybe better reconsider on that, around here we consider turkeys to be a pest of biblical proportions. And they have the right to do it, too, the wildlife folks would really hang you for pestering "their" birds. But it aint their problem if the turkeys pull up a few acres of corn. Most everything the wildlife people reintroduce are pure and simple pests and that includes deer, beavers, and bears.

In southern Ill. I have seen a couple of what I call mountain lions (cats) Also one killed by a train, yet it seems no one knows anything about these. I heard a few were released to cutback on deer population. I cant get straight answeres.Maybe not supposed to know. Go ahead, everyone else called me goonie.....

Its been said that God made Cats so that man can caress a tiger. It has also been said that the "M" marking on the forehead of a Tabby Cat was put there by Mary after a Cat warmed baby Jesus in the crib. An animal so agile, man can only admire.
