Coexistance With Cats

["Al Powell" <APOWELL@agcom.tamu.edu>]

I REALLY liked Doug Miller's idea about sprinkling red (try: Cayenne) 
pepper on and around the vehicle.  This results in no permanent harm 
to the cat (which after all, is just acting as nature intended it to 
do) and should solve your problem.

We frankly have no business trying to liquidate our neighbors' pets, 
unless they try to injure us or one of our family.  (Having said 
that, our neighbor has a rat terrier who has bitten a gent walking 
down the street next to me, and who barks continually from his side 
of the fence when I'm in the back yard.  Thankfully, they take this 
"waste of hair" inside inside when he does it.  This specific animal, 
I think, would qualify for his highest purpose as the object of 
target practice....but I have not done, and won't, do it....)

Sadly, the problem is not entirely the cat, it's the owner....same as 
people who let their dogs run loose.  It's a shame that the animals 
pay the penalty, not the folks who own them but fail to care for them.
