The cables add about another 30-60 seconds to removing the cat. It is surprising what one can do in a second who is trained in their profession. LSU football team made a touchdown in 1 second.

I'd be surprised if it takes that long.
As far as "deterrent"...by the time they see the orange paint and bondage cables, they are already underneath the rig and committed.
Also, if you do manage to annoy them, do they cut something else while they are under to get back at you? Wouldn't take but a few seconds, to nick some electrical or hydraulic lines.
X2!
Might stop a casual thief, but those cables don't stand a chance with a determined thief. You added only a couple of seconds for each wire to cut and they will still be done with the job in under 2 minutes.
The extra work you went through most likely will irritate them enough to cause even more damage while under there.. Lots of things they can do like drilling your fuel tank, cutting wires..
If I was going to make it difficult, I would have had a 1/4" steel plate cut to cover the cat and a bunch of 1/2" bolts.. But once again, making it more difficult risks backlash from desperate thieves..
