Unhappy Neighbors Cat :(

We just moved into a new place (no garage) and our neighbor has a cat that likes to sleep under/near our cars. Today I decided to check the oil and found a few clumps of cat hair on the passenger side valve cover. This really pisses me off! I try so hard to keep my car nice and now this. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep this damn cat away from my car without hurting it? I have tried hitting the panic button and the cat does not even flinch. I don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Well you could always catch it and drop it off across town
That wont hurt it and will def fix your problem.

That or tell your neighbors....see what they are willing to do about it. Being the "new guy" in da hood, may want to go about it in a nice manner as to not **** them off from the start lol.

Stay up, in the car, some night and wait 'til it's up in there--start the motor, buy a new serpentine belt first...

ive had that problem before...cats like to sleep on top of my rides. Water hose works great and after 3 time of being soaked they stopped.

if you can catch it, tie a can with a few rocks in it to the cat's tail. he won't stop running til the rattling stops!
