My cat cares not for PSPSPS, but if you yell "what the fuck are you doing?" he'll run over like you were waving a fresh salmon at him.

Also a winner is "get the fuck out of here, cat" never fails to encourage the cat to stay

Hot tip for farm cat owners, putting masking tape on the back of a cat will not harm it but will prevent it from jumping up temporarily. This should be long enough to put the valve cover back on an engine without trapping the cat inside.

Hadn't thought of masking tape. A squirt of compressed air also works to get them to vacate the area temporarily.

Mo thinks he's a mechanic

Edit: In case it's not obvious, DO NOT shoot compressed air directly at your cat! Just let it make the PSHHHHH noise.
