Hi there...consider using orange peels (something citrusy) combined with laying tin foil loosely over the soil surface but taped down around the edges next to the pot. Cats find the citrus scents quite revoltingly strong and the foil disturbing as it feels unstable under their feet. I've also placed double-sided tape on the foil for added insurance since cats truly dislike being stuck to the tape. The foil makes such a racket as well that it is added benefit when they are trying to shake loose from the tape stuck to the foil.
If you decide to try a spray, citronella is considered one of the strongest odour sprays for cats and is not harmful for them as well.

These products are a god send. One is cat away, I put the website on here as well this one is about $16. Another is Boundary Indoor/Outdoor Cat Repellent from Lambert Kay. This can be found at Petsmart for $11 - $13. Oh another thing to remember is cats don't like citrus so you could always slice a lemon or orange score the skin, and boil it then let it seep over night and spray around flower pots.

At the pet store, you can find a product for cats that is used to repel cats. It's in a spray bottle and uses some sort of chemical that can'ts don't like the smell of, and usually it keeps them away from whatever you want. Sorry I can't remember the name right now.

I have heard that cayenne pepper in the pot is a good deterant to keep cats out of gardens and pots.

I suggest putting a litter box with its special sand in it and have the cat use it .. later on move the litter box with time, every 4 to 7 days, part by part to where the owner lives .. this way the cat will not use your garden or back-yard for its disposals.

there is a spray that you can safely put on your plants that cats do not like. It works on furniture also. Go to a pet store and get some/ They also have a product that you can put on the soil in your flowerpots that smells good to humans, does not harm the plant, and keeps kitty away.

adventure with garlic and moth balls have shown they don't paintings for my cat. What i got here across that does paintings is warm Chili Powders. Sprinkle the soil, and that they are going to stay away from the pots after one dood sniff.

Cayenne Pepper is a non toxic solution to the problem. Cats don't like getting it on their paws, and they hate licking it off.

Fill the base of the pot with pine cones.
Cats hate to touch their paws to spikey things.
