Default Cats sleeping on my engine!!
Last week I purchased a 2013 extended cab and now the neighbor's cats are sleeping on top of my engine.
I've never seen such a large openings in the wheel wells.
Has anyone here had that problem? If so how to I fix it?
Thanks Mike

Ground meat and antifreeze......

Nah just kidding, try spraying some air freshener/cologne/perfume in or around your engine bay. Maybe stick a pine air freshener under there. The smell drives them away.
