The Japanese have an old remedy for keeping cats away. They put water in a plastic jug or bottle in certain spots that cats like to come and it supposedly keeps them away.......
But don't ask me how, they think it has something to do with the cat seeing a reflection. I see jugs of water just about everywhere in Japan. Especially in front of the entrances to homes and/or gardens, so it must work to some degree.....

I had this same problem. What I did was sprinkle ground cayenne pepper all over the area they tend to go. The next time they dig there and then lick their paws to clean them they get a burning mouth and don't forget it. The pepper should not hurt the plants. If you have to water the area just reapply when the soil is dry. If you go to the supermarket go to the spice section and get the cayenne pepper in the individual bags, it's much cheaper. Good luck!

Well first of all, don't harm the animals.The vet in your area will have some spray that cats will avoid wherever it is sprayed.This should encourage them to defecate somewhere besides your garden.I bet your garden is as pretty as your mouth.

this is referred to as manure. You your self prepared the sparkling floor. this is inviting. Frankly, the cats the following use our flower backyard, the stuff under no circumstances kills the flora. in case you want to save them out in basic terms get considered one of those inexpensive chook nettings from any backyard provide shops and placed it up over the backyard. It keeps out rabbits too. on the grounds that cats received't poop interior 50 ft of a sturdy water source, it may also be so easy as putting out a bowl of water (it doubles as a chook water source for robins) next to the backyard. in case you want the spray, our gardening supplement in basic terms had a write up on cat repellent from messina flora and fauna (google them). not in basic terms is it a plant oil software that lasts a month regardless of ways many circumstances it rains, it is also a funds again verify that it fairly works.

Sprinkle ground black perrer on the soil, it won't hurt the plants or cats but it will bother them enough that they won't come back.
Plant marigolds, they have a subtle smell that birds and animals don't like

Get a dog! I've tried everything else and the little gits still come in and do their stuff, and they do it on purpose, cos they know how much it irritates me. Although if you put a bit of tabasco in the water, it makes the water pistol game much more fun!!!
