can I put them on top of car hoods to keep cats off cars?

No, they really don't work at all from my experience with local cats. Don't waste your money.

Not going to work well for car hoods. They have an extremely oily base that could create paint problems. You could put them beside the car, and they might deter the cats.

I don't know if that's a good idea. Maybe after they dry a little but when mine arrived it was very moist/drippy and the liquid ate the nail polish right off my manicure. I wouldn't recommend getting it near a car/letting the liquid sit on a paint job for an extended amount of time.

I don't know for certain. It would at first, certainly. Feral cats especially would be scared off by the flashing light. But if it's cold enough and they've had time to adjust to the flashing light they might still seek the warmth of an engine or tire well.

No. They must be in a place where the air can flow through it to create the sound to which the animalsrespond. I put mine on the front bumper of my truck and on the bottom of the grill of my car.

Probably... but that isn't a bad thing since if it were a real dog your cat would probably set him/her off too. Ours is situated in an area and when we pass it barks, but I don'[t mind since a real dog might too. If you put it where your animal doesn't go then it should not be an issue..there is a limit to the range. Also I saw where someone put a metal plate behind it so it would not pick up movement inside their house. That's an option.

I do the same thing for my cats. They don;t like it on high and I generally just leave all three on low all winter.

Yes you can. As long as no other animal can get to it like a cat as it will kill them too.

have mine on my roof, but if I remember right they are about 3 inches to 4 inches apart at the tip. They are rigid enough to discourage cats and would work well on top of a fence.

not really, but get some 3M adhesive hooks,and attach them to hood, problem solved.

Not adequately. I personally would not use these in an area where there is poor weather. They have doors on both front and back, and have to be plugged in as well. One of my kitties is big, and her rear sticks out the back. These are really small. Kitties cannot stretch out in them. I can tell you that if you get a good quality Styrofoam ice chest, tape the top to the bottom, cut a small door and put in a blanket, that will insulate the kitty and keep them warm. I know many of the shelters in our area are doing this. You may even be able to get a few from your local shelters. Our give them away here to those wanting to help. Hope that helps :) Not adequately. I personally would not use these in an area where there is poor weather. They have doors on both front and back, and have to be plugged in as well.

I don't think so. First of all cats are very stubborn and set in their ways. Second this doesn't smells as far as I can tell. It would only work if the cats are licking the convertible top and wouldn't like the bitter taste. I would recommend a water hose or just a spray bottle to get the cats not to lay on the top (only if it's waterproof). Cats don't like water or be sprayed with it but it wouldn't harm them.

The top is slippery and cats slide off. You can glue astroturf to the top, but the cats still get knocked off when the unit goes under a couch. Because of the curvature of the top, if you want more than one riding cat, you have to put velcro strips on the unit and give the cats velcro socks. They will try to take them off. Estimate 15% reduction of runtime for every 5 pounds of riding cat.

I don't think so because cats generally want to cover up their elimination. Plus, their stuff stinks pretty bad, so you definitely want to use cat litter for the benefit of you and the cat.

If you put them under the edge of the hood they will not hurt the paint. The directions should tell you how to put them on and were to put them properly. I have them on my VW just under the edge of the hood and have not had a problem with them with the wind. Good Luck

Yes, there is a cover you can keep on or off. But the mesh is pretty dark. Also, not good for a cat, it closes with Velcro and cats will escape.

You can put it on your car but be sure to measure where you want to drill the hole with the hood up since the Xk has a reverse hood, you don't want to put the cat on there and then no be able to open the hood because of the cat hitting the bumper also I would like to add that every time I have seen a bonnet leaped on an xk, it never seems to look right.

I think it depends on the pet. Our cats avoid an area only when they know the barrier is not there or if we have the collars on. The second the collars are off or they know the battery is dead they are exactly where they're not supposed to be. If you are buying for a cat I would suggest you don't. The electrodes are too far apart from either to fit a cat's neck. Both electrodes need to make contact but they rarely do because of the width between and the small neck on a cat.

I haven't removed mine since I put them on.. Purchased the covers so my cars weren't visible from the street.. Sorry.. Happy New Year...
