Someone told my wife(city girl) to throw a bunch of large rubber snakes on the hood - on top - on the truck lid.
I sat back knowin' better(country boy).

She walked outside an hr. or so later and the cats were all sittin' on top of the car. I finally convinced her that cats DO kill snakes and that this experience was a big let down for them.

Short of death, I know of no way to keep them off/out of anything they're drawn to. I live in south Texas and have
noticed that once it gets hot, they have a tendency to stay outside and up on the roof or in a tree where they have a bit more breeze. Summer's on the way!

Regards.
