I've got a cat problem

Literally, a cat problem...
Lately a cat has decided that the perfect sleeping spot is the roof of my car.
I've tried different parking spots. Leaving the car outdoors in the open garage, and nothing works.
Is there a cat repellent that is safe to use on the car? I swear that if I figured out which cat is doing this, I'd ship it to my worst enemy.

You can get a proximity alarm like this one:
![Amazon.com : Newfuture® Mini Wireless PIR MP. Alert Infrared Sensor Motion Detector GSM Alarm Monitor : Camera & Photo](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/misc/amazon_icon.gif)
And put it on top of your car but you can also just get a car cover and figure the cat keeps the birds off. Be aware if you scare the cat they'll use their claws for traction which will dig into the top and scratch any paint surface they touch (you can buff it out but it is a pain).
I used to have a robotic cat that I'd use to keep my cats off of stuff but it eventually broke down and they don't make them anymore. (It had a built in motion sensor and the eyes would light up and it would move toward the cat scaring the crap out of him).
Good luck!!

I have a car cover, which desperately needs cleaning and I am only ever willing to use it when the car is spotless. I fear that car covers may cause swirl marks and on an anthracite black Jag that got a respray less than a year ago, I really don't want those.
I don't have a vacuum to get the cat hair out, so I deal with a small dust pan. It's a pain.
My mom said that I should try sprinkling black pepper on and around my car. That doesn't exactly sound convenient.

Adopt a retired racing Greyhound. They are trained to chase small objects and with their extremely high prey drive, they cannot tolerate cats or squirrels. We've had three retired Greyhounds since 1994. All of them would run down and catch the cats that were stupid enough to climb the fence surrounding our backyard before the cats knew what hit them. The cats around here finally learned to stay away from our property, and our irresponsible cat-loving neighbors finally learned that if they allowed their cats to roam free and come over here, sooner or later they would become stuffed dog toys....

Gian - you are not alone - I finally cleaned out my garage so I can put the car in at nights because I did find claw marks on the side. While they did buff out - it was not something I wanted to deal with.
An easy way to remove any fur the cat leaves behind is to use a lint roller (it also removes pollen and other small particles in the process)
