Default Cats and convertibles

The S is my first convertible. How might I protect the top from a napping cat. I am very scared of what might happen with the claws. A car cover might work but still a comfey place for a cat. I am leaning toward a cat repellant applied to a towel.
Harming the cat is NOT an option! What yall think??

Put wax paper on the top for a few days if indoors - maybe a couple of glue traps if outdoors.

<--- Not a cat person.

I worry more about my paint than the top on my S. I don't let the cat out in the garage usually, but he has gotten on the car in the past. He prefers my lap to any place else, and he's there now. He loves what S2ki does for him.

IF you find the cat on the car, squirt him/her with a little water. Hopefully, he/she will learn the car is off limits, before sinking the claws in.

For some reason, our cat has stayed away from our S. She often sits on the hood of my Jeep, but never bothered with the S. I think she knows if she messes with it, she's toast.

I'll work with a domestic cats, but feral cats get trapped and released in cayote habitat. That's just how it is.

Coyotes are cute. Just not in my yard with my cats.
