You can cover the front end with tin foil ("The cats hate the foil.") It'd be a pain in the *** to do, but the upside is that your truck will look ****ing awesome. The other thing is something that sprays the cats when they jump up, but then again, the cat will be startled and try to dig into the paint.
My tip, get a real dog
I mean, how is Gorddie doing?

After all this bullsh*t, I'm not even going to post up the right (and humane) way to get rid of the cats.
Sounds like all of you are hell bent on joining Michael Vicks' fan club. Here's your link to do so.

Here is the sprinkler I suggested:

And an alternative:

I would go for the sprinkler because you can use it later for pranks on your friends.

I know your pain. I have the same problem! I think I've tried most of the suggested through the years except the heater. They still keep coming back. So, I have settled for just having fun with out kill'em. Airsoft.
I like the heater idea. Set a heating pad or blanket out. Just make sure you plug it in to a GFI plug. Then have a BYOB and Airsoft party. AEG's only. No gas, that way there's no noise.

Ok look, that was not even funny.
I have no problem with him trapping the cats, Hell I have no problem with him humanely shooting them, a quick .22 to the head and its over fast no pain. We use to get rid of the strays around the house that way, they don't suffer and it kept the population down. However have you ever seen what antifreeze does to an animal? the pain they go thru, the terror, and in the end they die in convulsions, slow, in pain.
Sorry but I don't find that funny at all, even as a joke.

More helpful than all these other posts which advise the OP to maim, torture, and otherwise be very cruel to the cats.
Suggesting ammonia water, anti-freeze and other poisons which will slowly and painfully kill an animal who's simply trying to get a bit of warmth...
...suggesting shooting it - firing off a gun in a residential area - sounds like a good way to go to jail. Not everyone is a sniper capable of hitting the precise spot they're aiming for, so if they miss, what then?
So far, the only humane treatment comes from someone suggesting a motion-sensing sprinkler...but I'm pretty certain the water spots on the truck are going to screw up the paint just about as much as the cats.
He's never put a scratch in the paint. He walks on his paw pads, and leaves pawprints on the car, the windshield, etc. but no claws in the paint.
He is not amewsed by this thread.
