 From my experience, it can't be done. Humans tend to think of Miatas as
 cars, whereas cats see Miatas as chaise lounges. I use a heavy technalon
 cover on my car. Generally 10 minutes after its been driven and put back in
 the garage our cats are flaked out on the hood basking in the warmth from
 the engine. They also have taken to climbing up beneath the cover to 
 get into the open cockpit if the top and windows aren't up. Cats love
 Miatas.
