If you access to a Big Lots Store,  They have cloth car covers for $16.  Not bad quality.  This what I use for indoor storage.  Cheap enough and easy to replace.  You could even use 2 for the cat protection.   Plus always keep a good coat of wax on your car.......steve

Thanks for the input.

 
The cat just sleeps on the hood and at the time I have a blanket over the hood. But I would still like to cover the whole car.
When the car is kept at the farm it just needs some dust protection.
 
But there were covers from $50 to $350.
My exp is the cheapest isnt usally good for much but one can spend way too much at times.

I use the $30 -$60 Budge covers that you can buy @ Autozone. Underneath each of the are old flannel sheets. They work just fine for my vettes in the garage.
Tux sports the more expensive water resistant version cover so it blocks out more dust. (because he'z black) These covers have the elastic bands around the bottom and are lockable. They also go with the carz for overnite parking lot stays.....

Web Worms?  We always called 'em 'Tent Cat-R-Pillars.'  They'll sure strip a tree in no time (like my black walnuts), and they're ugly as heck to boot! 
 
Guess that's my "one-thang-to-larn-today."  Kin I go home now and start the weekend??! Thumbs%20Up
