Would waxing it really well work? If it was slippery enough that the cat tried to jump up and fell, not only would it be a deterrent to try again, but it would be terribly funny to watch. If not wax, is there some sort of oil that you could put on the hood of the car without damaging the paint? You wouldn't have to keep it on, once the cat either falls off or gets oil on it's paws it will be discouraged from trying it again. Just a thought.

My dad, mechanic for 40 years, suggests to people to insert a ball of lead into the cat's ear at a rapid rate of speed. However, I do not recomend that if you like the cat. Some people suggest moth balls, which do work with some cats. I've seen some people place stuffed animals on their vehicles. Unfortunately, you may be hard pressed to find anything that works without harming the feline pest.

The only way I know of includes actually having to catch the cat in the act. A water bottle or a gentle hose (gentle so not to harm the animal) will get the cat's attention and they hate water. Once it realizes it is going to get wet if it gets on the car this usually works .
I can't believe someone gave you a thumbs down for asking a legitimate question!

Er...strap a dog on it?
Well you can opt to use those car covers when parking for long periods of time so that even if cats do get on ur vehicle, they'll not cause any damage to the paintjob. I don't think there's any way of preventing them from getting on at all.

my car in the carport sits right outside my bathroom window. i keep the screen door open and a spray bottle of water nearby. every so often i find a reason to check and if the culprit is up to no good, i give him a shower. my car had spots at first but cats learn quickly. may be impractical for you to wait for the cat to offend. i had a great reason.
one day i came out to find my car clawed after one of the cats slipped off and tried to catch himself before falling. there are vertical claw marks on my fender. after that i had incentive to stand at the window and wait to catch the punk cat.

ok, the cat is used to slumbering on the great of your automobiles. do not attempt scaring the cat off as which will reason the claws to tear. are you able to degree the great section? if so get a mild piece of plywood to conceal the great so the cat gained't flatten/stretch it and it can get it is claws into it to tear. It does not want to be too heavy to pop on excellent, only a skinny piece.

When you get a great answer let us know. I hate it!! One of my cats loves to do that. I'm tired of all the hair and paw prints but there is nothing I can do as far as I know.

Cat's going to do what it wants. You can try repellants that are found at the pet store, but it doesn't bother some cats. Some even like the smell.
