If you want to prevent cats from climbing on the hood, you can try putting something with a strong odor on the hood or in the engine compartment, such as wind oil, lemon, orange peel, toilet water, etc. Secondly, you can also install a guard plate directly on the engine, which can effectively prevent cats from getting into the engine compartment. In addition, if the cat has peed in the engine compartment before, the urine needs to be cleaned in time.
1. Spray odors that cats don’t like
Cats are very afraid of irritating odors, such as essential oils, lemons, orange peels, toilet water, etc., which are all odors that cats hate. Therefore, the owner can put something with a relatively pungent smell on the hood or in the engine compartment. Generally, cats will leave directly after smelling such a smell.
2. Install the engine guard plate
If the above method does not work, the owner can also install the guard plate directly on the engine. This is a relatively common method at present. It’s just that the engines of vehicles vary in size. Even if some vehicles are equipped with engine guards, if the wind gap is large, cats will still crawl in. Therefore, the owner can place some filler in the engine compartment after parking the car to plug the gaps, take it out every time before driving, and check the engine compartment.
3. Clean urine
If a cat has entered the engine compartment before and excreted in it, then the excrement needs to be cleaned to prevent the cat from smelling it next time The smell still got in.
