Cats staying warm on engine

[itn69]

My barn cats have gotten smart or stupid however you want to look at it. They like to get up on my engine while its plugged in. I have gotten in the habit of checking for them, but I'm getting tired of it. They won't get off unless I pop the hood and flush them off. Other than eliminating the cats, or leaving the wife and kids, does anyone have a good idea.

get something else warm for them?

Hmm, well I hate cats so you know what I'd do...

Get yourself a good dog and he'll be right there with you to keep your feet warm on a cold night

We had an old farm cat in Wy. Turned over a wheelbarrow over a piece of steel
with a magnetic oil pan heater underneath covered with a chunk of old rug. Kept
him off the engine blocks.

i cought a damn farm cat in my engine the other day, my pup hasnt grown up enough to chase off catss so in the mean time the BB gun works well.

just click the starter real fast then turn the key to off, before it fires up, the sound and movement should get them scared so they dont go in there again, did it to my cat

How about setting off the alarm with the panic button on the key fob, the horn blowing would probablly scare them away.

Surprised you opening the door and jumping in and the glow plug relay and pump clicking and running isn't enough to scare them away really.

HELL GUYS,have i got one horrid story for yall!!! we had a bmw and we lived in atlanta,it was freezing out side and i guess the car was stiil warm,any way,we had like maybe 6 or 7 cats roaming around,well you can imagine what happens next.my sis starts the car and i hear a thump thump whap whap and then cats screaming LOUD,my sis took out like 5 cats in one start,she backed up only like 3 feet and maneged to whack 2 of em off,the others were caught in the blades of the fans..gruesome site..

im like dude up top,bump it over once and DONT start it, it will scare em

bumping the starter wont work. A 6.4 will just start right up if you just turn the key for a second and let go.
