RE: Damn Cat !!!
I had a similar issue. I keep the cat in the garage at night along with the bike. I never actually saw him on the bike, but it was obvious from the pin ****** in the seat, hair, cat litter dust, etc, that he had been on there. He even PISSED on the bike. Solution was getting his ***** chopped off (neutered by the vet) and using an old sheet set to cover the bike. I use the fitted one on the front of the bike and pull it tight around the front fender, footpegs, and handlebars then use the flat sheet draped over the back of the bike. It pretty much solved the problem.
I heard sticky being mentioned as a deterent to cats. It probably works with most cats, but mine actually likes to lick tape. Weird cat. Maybe he gets a high off it.
If you can catch your cat on the bike you might try either spraying him with water or dumping a bucket of water on him. If you can't catch him on there you might put him on there and then spray him. Water has been the best deterent for my cat.

RE: Damn Cat !!!
i've heard a lake works well. especially if you put the cat with a brick inside of a tied potato sack.
related issue: if you have a problem with a barking dog, just make them sound like a cat. To do so:
1. soak dog in bathtub.
2. place in freezer for 3 hours
3. Take out of freezer
4. rub finger along dog, who will "Meow"

I know what your thinking, you'd haul it off or knock it in the head and believe me it has crossed my mind, but if it disappeared my wife and daughters would know what happened to it and I'd be in the dog house over it.

RE: Damn Cat !!!
I have had the same problem. I went crazy trying to stop the cat. I was putting jugs around the fender to block the access points and all, but finally discoverd 2 things. There is a product in Wal-Mart in the cat department you spray on a rag daily for a while to deter them from coming near the bike and I also cut me a piece of plastic mesh to slid under my bike and then pin it up on the cover with safety pins and this incapsulates the bike so it is impossible to get in. Now the mesh is a little bit of a pain to put on but it is worth it. Especially if you cant take the cat out. Mine keeps the mice coming to the front step so i cant afford to get rid of it.
Hope this helps.
