I just would wait just inside the door, and when i would see the cats getting on the hood, I'd fill up two 44oz cups full of ice water, then run at them, and douse them. Should only take 1-2 nights and they will realize that the "warm" hood isn't so "warm&Friendly" anymore.

I haven't had cat urine in my A/C vents, ot pawprints on my hood/windshield since.

How's about fire up the Cummins with remote start after he's settled down for a nap?

 

Little bit on the other side, but when my brother and I were kids we had an old drunk uncle who would come by the ranch and catch the barn cats, put them in a sack and drop them in the pond. He made the mistake of passing out in the yard one day, so my brother and I tied concrete blocks on his legs and put him in the pond. He was still bubbling when the grownups pulled him out, but he was pretty sober and I have not seen him since. Wonder why?

sherod's story reminded me of something we did as kids on a friends farm. It all started when we got our naughty hands on an electric fencer. We got a sheet of corrugated roofing and laid it over a bunch of coke bottles for insulation. Then wet the bare earth all around it. After we attached the hot wire to the corrugated iron we placed chicked feed on it. And waited. It was not long before a chicken came and placed one foot on the iron. Talk about sqauwking (sp?) and feathers flying. Chicken after chicken. While we rolled on the ground laughing. The highlight was when one of the farm cats came to investigate. It too tried to get up on the metal - and went about 10 feet straight up. There were skid marks from it's claws in the damp sand as it tried to get traction to run away. The my friends father came to see why we were all dying with laughter and put an end to our fun. But will never forget the sight of that cat.

 

To train the wife's two PITA cats to stay off of the kitchen counters I took pieces of cardboard with duct tape turned sticky side up attached to them and stretched them out on top of the counters when we left the house. Took about 2 weeks and the tape had to be replaced a few times, and the cats had a few bald spots bot it worked for the most part. Cats hate things that stick to ther paws it drives them nuts. Maybe for the truck a blanket with Duct tape or contact paper laid over the hood would work.

I presonally think the only good cat is one that catches its own food. If it can't catch enough to survive on it will either leave or starve.

 

Goldenears, did any of the suggestions work. Or is that pesky cat still pestering you? Who won? If you, what worked?

 

NO NO NO NO NO, you all are on SOMEWHAT of the right track, but a little miss guided...SOLUTION:
Take the OWNER by his collar, drive down the interstate at atleast 70 mph, be in the middle lane, hold him out the window and let him go. Owner dies, if not from road rash, from other cars making hash out of him, owner doesn't come home, cat starves to death. If this doen't work, watch the DR. Phibes movies and make Kitty pudding and feed it to the owner. Or do as my brother did his wifes cat, use a flash from a camera, he ran two wires from the bulb to a bowl and a sheet of foil, cat licked the milk....BOOM....He's divorced now

 

Momma just reminded me of how she broke our cat from getting in the windows. She bought a BUNCH of those stickey as hell fly strips, hung about 2 in each window, with curtains PULLED WAY BACK, came in from the shop and kitty met her at the door with 3 of them wrapped all around her, paws and fur all messed up, cat has a BUZZ cut, but won't get in the windows anymore
