My 3 cats (and now there are 4 new beautiful 4 day old kittens!!!!)
sit on our cars, under our cars, and (when they can get in) in our cars.
I don't think they have ever scratched the paint.  Cat's claws are usually
kept in, especially when they are doing something relaxing like lying in the
sun on a warm car.  I don't think you should worry. 

I know of no way of getting rid of a cat who really *wants* to be someplace.
My husband swears by firecrackers when the cats act up (now none of our cats
will go *NEAR* a cable), and other people seem to have luck with squirt
guns.  I think either of these methods would guarantee scratches in your
car.
