Default Keeping cats off wife's car in garage

stryped fired this volley in
:

My wife has an 07 escape. We have cats that stay in the garage. They
always get on the hood of the car, especially it seems after it is
cleaned.

Anyway, short of getting rid of the cats, is there anythign I can do
to keep them off? I tried a motion detector chime, but the cats
ignored it and it was irritating becasue it would go off when people
walked by. My next idea is to try to make a square the size of the
hood out of pvc and suspend it from the ceiling to sort of "block"
them from getting on it.

You guys are good at coming up with stuff. I thought I would ask. I
thought a hi tech thing to do would be to install some sort of motion
detection valve that would briefly open when motion is sensed and
would be connected to an air tank to "blow" at the cat, however this
is probaly too expensive and I know of no motion detedction valves
that would perform this way.

Any ideas are appreciated!





Just throw a blanket over the hood. It will protect the hood, and the
cat will like the feel of it enough so as NOT to jump up on the roof.
