I know we have some cat lovers here and I was hoping they could help me with a problem. It seems a stray cat has adopted our house as his very own and the trouble with that is he likes to sleep on our cars. He has scratched the paint on my wife's car until I'm sure the front fender is ruined.

To solve this my first impulse was "SHOTGUN" but I don't want to hear my kids cry about it for a week so I am looking for other ways to teach him to keep off the cars. My second thought was to catch him on the car and pick him up and give him a swat on the rump, a good shake and tell him no, but he is still to wild to catch.

Any ideas on how to teach this critter where he does and doesn't belong?
