Does it also work for dogs that put their paws and nails on the side of your door when you drive up?

Sprinkle a little black pepper on the hood. The next time the cat see your car, he'll head for the nearest exit.

Was it "Christmas Story"?

Get yourself a 'Red Rider BB Gun", no more cats!

I'm sure the Vette has the warmest hood on the block, I bet if the vette sat a few days and the car next to you was just driven the cat would choose the other vehicle. Or, maybe it's a lzy cat and can't jump on anything higher than the vette!

I have 3 of the furry little buggers and all three have attemped to roost on the roof.
All three somehow found out that it is not made for that and will no longer venture into the garage.
Strange isn't it.
