Keeping cats off roof

[abh29]

as it says ,any ideas how to stop next doors cat from sleeping on car roof ,leaving hairs and pulls in material. I am trying to avoid having to put cover over each time I park.

Get an air gun!

I've got some rough rubber door mats which I put on the roof when parked and the cats don't seem to like them. The rain is working wonders at the moment too!

Unfortunately other half will not permit that solution ,or cat would have been dealt with long ago, and as soon as my Labrador gets involved it runs up a fence and away.

Get one of those enormous children's supersoaker water guns!!

I agree with @Gail
The water gun will work wonders

you can teach cats with a water pistol, they soon make associations, so evertime he gets on the roof, just spray it, it wont take long for it to associate getting on the roof and getting sprayed.

Catch the cat, take it on a long drive and release it.

I work with a guy who actually did that a few years ago.....drove from the midlands to Carlisle and turfed it out!!!

I would use a more permanent method

I would NEVER let my cat on top of my car. It just never listens to me..................

 

[gookah]

I find they let go at around 85mph.......

Of course if it's still on the roof when you polish the car you can use it to wipe the polish off.

we have a cover on ours and on that we used to put a fine layer of curry powder over the top, the local cats soon learnt to clean themselves else where

Would some kind of conditioner for the roof with a strong citrus citrous scent maybe the answer?
