Cat repellant spray on soft top?

[Longers]

My neighbours cat has taken to sitting on the roof of my S3. Paw prints on boot and bonnet are annoying but the real problems are a couple of scratches on the paint where it has struggled to get up the slippery bonnet and some claw marks in the fabric on the hard panel of the roof.

I've got some cat repellent spray. What's the collective view on putting it on the hood - is it likely to harm the fabric, colouring, water proofer, etc?

Cheers,
L'rs

Thanks for the suggestions

Trying to catch it with a hosepipe would be ideal but I rarely see the thing on my car, it's mainly there at night I think. An audio alarm sounds like a good idea (no pun intended!) but my wife has a dog so I (apparently) need to be considerate of that.

Perhaps I could get an alarm for use at night and at other times spray some repellent on a bin liner which sits on top of the trellis and barbed wire so the thing doesn't know it's there until it stands on it

I'll let you know how I get on

Glen, when I saw you'd replied I was expecting you to have said "it's an S Series so the roof shouldn't be on"...

Already got a Leven hood cover but that doesn't stop the cat climbing up the bonnet which being slippery has caused it to dig its claws in and leave some scratches At least the cover protects the fabric on the roof.

I had the same problem with paw prints on the bonnet and roof.
A PestBye fixed to the ceiling and angled to cover the garage door worked for me.

That looks great - adjustable coverage will mean I can use it without affecting my wife's dog in the house, as long as I remember to turn it off when I go to work in the morning so it's walkies are not affected!!

Thanks for the tip aide
