Problem with cat sleeping on roof

[sd_boxster]

Hit it with the garden hose and a stream nozzle a few nights in a row. It sounds inhumane, but that cat needs some negative reinforcement.

Thanks but it's happening where I park up for work - not somewhere that can be monitored.

Thinking of getting a piece of carpet, doused with repellent sprays & pepper, carry it in the trunk & throw it on top after my commute. That way I'm keeping dodgy chemicals off the roof.

You might also try one of those metallic emergency blankets - they're crinkly and loud and might be off-putting for a cat, and thin enough that you could just pinch it between the window and the weather stripping to hold it in place...

you can take 2 pieces of chicken wire one on top of the other, Seperate them by a couple pieces of 1x1x1" foam. attach one to the the black terminal, attach the other to red terminal. when the cat jumps on the chicken wire and they make contact, well you get the picture.

Now to all you cat lovers, this will not hurt the cat, just scare the hell out of him. It sure beats the heck out of what my daddy would have done

Dang, this is a good idea!

We've got squirrels in our tomato bed - I'm gonna try this (but with a 13,000 volt transformer instead of a car battery).

If it works, I'll have squirrel jerky to go with the tomatoes...
