So is it impossible to stop Google from hotlinking your images without affecting your visitors?

Can you safely block just Google image serps without stopping them from ranking images?

I know that sounds counter-intuitive but my niche leaves my images especially prone to scrapers who find them in search and they link them from spammy sites. I'd really like Google to use their own cache copy instead.
