My neighbors cat keeps climbing the hood of my car!!

I come outside to my cats sleeping on my cars all the time lol. No damage so I leave them and they don't wander off the property much.

get a break barrel single shot pellet rifle, they can achieve speeds of 1000fps or more. i had a daisy quest that i dropped 7 of the neighbors strays they brought home for getting on my convertible and picking the top. 1 well placed pellet to the head at no more than 60 ft away will drop it instantly.

now though with my Z i have a garage, only had the issue once... well that and left some cat food outside spiked with acetametaphine as they can't process out as much as we can and they OD somewhere else.

nope my ancestors were local and didn't come over on ships. live traps also work well then you can silently dispatch your prey. if you're feeling creative a ruger mkIII and some pvc pipe, couple of cardboard baffles and some rws subsonic ammo makes for a silent swift kill as well

Watch the movie "Despicable me". The part (within 15 minutes into the movie) when "Gru" is talking to his neighbor and giving him the complaint about a dog.
Gru: Hello, Fred. FYI. Your dog has been leaving little bombs in my yard, and I do not appreciate it.
Fred McDade: Oh you know dogs... they go where they want to go.
Gru: Unless they're dead.
[laughs]
Gru: Just kidding! Oh, though it is true.

Don't ask me how a 39 years young man knows those lines.

Do you know who the cat belongs to? Have you talked with the owner about it?

If yes and yes, and still nothing is done, then follow the advice above about contacting animal control. As tempting as it is to shoot/poison/kill them (and I have been really tempted myself in the past to do this), it is just not worth it if you get caught. Seriously, it is almost as bad to kill a cat as a person. LOL

Good luck.

Killing the animal can get you in a lot of trouble, especially if it is someone's pet. Discharging a firearm (in many places this includes air guns, paint ball guns, &c) in a populated area can get you in a lot of trouble. I can also close my eyes and see a zealous prosecutor and some kind of terrorism charges.
Tempting as it may be, extermination is probably not a good answer.

But if you live someplace where it's allowed, go for it. Cats are evil.

also if the owner of the cat refuses to pay file a claim with your insurance against her homeowners insurance. just let your insurance company go after them, they'll learn. then kill the cat anyway

also call animal control after scratching yourself with a straight pin. tell them her cat did it and you want it tested for rabies or have it put down lol

Since the coyotes moved in a few years ago, just seeing a cat outdoors is a rarity for me.

Good luck.
