My wife got me a cat cure after I threatened to make the 6 o'clock news.  
Called Tattle Tale (tm), it is a small battery powered device in plastic box 
that has a motion sensor.  I set it in the trunk or on the windshield resting 
against the hood.  When our cat hops on the car it emits a high pitched but 
not obnoxious squeel.  The cat hops immediately off the car. The only 
scratches resulted when i forgot to put it on the car. It has two sensitivity 
settings.  I would not recommend this unless the car is in a car port or 
garage.  Another problem is that the cat now ignores the car when in the 
garage.  If I leave it in the driveway, it is fair game.  Who says cats aren't
smart.  If I leave the car outside at home I have to pop the hood so the cat 
won't try to warm itself.

The catch to this story is that I don't remember where this thing came from!  
At one time I thought I saw it in Miata Magazine, also in Herrington's or 
Brookstone cataloges?   You might try MM Marketing at 1-800-666-4282.


BTW  I got my Indy II confirmation last week!  Can't wait.  We ought to 
organize an informal meeting just to get to know the face that goes to the 1's
and 0's.
