I doubt that you have anything to worry about, unless the cat's claws
are tipped with diamonds.  A factory paint job is plenty hard!

A more serious problem is having a cat cuddle up to your nice warm
engine -- UNDER the hood.  The sound of a cat going around the
alternator pulley is rather disconcerting to a driver.  It is a
somewhat more serious problem from the cat's point of view!
