For a while now, I've had this problem with cats running around my garage (not enclosed) . Two weeks ago I changed my differential fluid (stock). I never got rid of the fluid, coz i never had a chance. but what i noticed is, the cats stopped comming around.

Just wanted to post this weird info. Can't stand the smell, so I'll have to get rid of the fluid sooner or later.

Any other suggestion to keep the cats away? short of

 

Scat Mats - I made my own, but they work.

 

Mothballs. The "old fashion" kind.

They also work great at keeping birds, squirrels,
and other rodents (like cats) out of places you
don't want them.

 

Daisy Red Rider BB gun and a dead aim!

 

attaboy wino: just the kind of solution i'd expect from "bush country" - a final one

 

Fire works real well.

 

Just put a dog on top of your bonnet and chain it up there

Sad to say, it doesn't work

 

werd. get a rabid dog and pay him in bones to get those nasty cats away from your ride.

 

I have the same problem, damn cats.... Haven't found a good solution yet..
