Default Keeping cats off of truck?

Does anyone have any suggestions for keeping neighborhood cats off of your trucks? I never catch them on there but every morning when I get up there are paw prints all over it. The paw prints aren't too bad, but I do not want them scratching the paint.

Those pictures are ridiculous for that sprinkler...unicorn..really? haha. That will work if the sprinkler is pointed at your truck and you dont mind soaking it all the time. Id say its definitely worth it to keep the stupid cats away.

Yeah I prefer not to soak the truck daily, but hopefully the cats would learn after a few nights... I am still not sold on it yet, but I am going to look into it a little more

Small dish of antifreeze in the bed? J/K

Try some ice-hot on the hood / roof / wherever you notice the paw prints. That should make it not worth the effort to climb onto your truck.

Hahahaha. Awesome. As long as the cat owner doesnt get the cat back an get an autopsy on it....Just kidding of course. That sorta stuff is frowned upon these days...I just hear the stories from my father about what his friends thought were "fun" back in the 70's.
