Whenever any of the two of us come home, we are always welcomed back by one of 6 (!) cats who patrol our neighbourhood.
Often, the are with three or more, and they tend to lie flat on the ground beneath my car to enjoy the radiating heat.
I do not dislike cats, or experience dismay from the presence of them in my front-yard. It’s the fact they are often taking a dump in my backyard. It stinks. Therefore, we’re going to make our yard kitty-proof in the near future, to avoid us from stepping into a smelly garden or worse!
Anyway, the welcoming committee is in the picture below. 
Best solution is to get a cat yourself.
By the way in our neighbourhood the cats always lay on the front of the car. Nice hot above the engine.
Better than dogs
Wait until you get the steaming piles I regularly find in my backyard via the (snail)mail, both of you!
My rant here is that I think our neighbours (our direct neighbour has 3 cats, of which only 1 is outside regularly) should keep their cats from shitting in my garden. If they can’t, they shouldn’t let their pets out.
