Now, now.  If you want to kill the cat, there are more enjoyable
ways of doing it.  ;-)

Seriously, if it's one cat that is doing this frequently, there
are probably ways of "training" it.  For instance, pet shops sell
a blanket that gives off small electrical shocks.  It's usually
used to teach the dog that lying on the couch when the owner isn't
around is an unpleasant experience.  You could try putting one of
those on your car regularly for a few weeks.  There are also scents
that you can use to keep animals away (again, try a pet store)...
if you're dilligent about using it daily on your car, perhaps the
cat will be trained to go and find someone else's car.

Then again, a Rottweiler would make a nice Audi hood ornament...
