You can get rid of your cat problem 'kindly' by scattering the garden with a repellent called Silent Roar. The non-toxic pellets are soaked in essence of lion dung, dried and sterilised (don't ask where they get the dung from!) Apparently the thought of tackling whatever left the smell of zoo pooh in the garden scares the local moggies away. As the blurb on the box says: 'Even the bravest of cats will retreat when they realise that a Lion King has been there first.' Available from all good garden centres (recommend you buy rather than make your own!).

Get some bamboo stakes(or any type of wood). Cut them at an angle into pieces about 4 inches long. Push them into the ground of your flower beds about 6 inches apart. That might be many sticks. But the cats don't want to go where there are sharp points sticking up. I had a client who used to lay her rose clippings(thorny canes about 1 foot long) in her flower beds. Again, cats won't go there.
Good luck :-)

You need to change the laws in your community. Cats should be treated as dogs are. Licensed and confined. The owners of these animals are allowing their animals to cause damage to other peoples property, and possible injury to themselves by cars, dogs, etc. It isn't the animals fault. It is the inconsideratre owners that are the problem. I have a 15 year old cat, and, other than trips to the vet, she has never been out the door.

If the cats go in a certain part of the garden, cover it with chicken wire just where they are messing. Or put pots in the spot where they are messing. Maybe it will break the cycle and they will go elsewhere.

If there are liquid amber wood on your section use the seed pods sort them. they are one inch diameter balls lined with sharp spikes. A layer of those works extremely properly to maintain animals out of the flower beds. i've got used that answer for years.

I hate it when they do that! The best way I have found is to use a sprinkler with a motion sensor. Hot pepper only lasts a few days -- and sticking sharp object in the sail makes it a pain for you to tend the garden.

buy some ''catnip or cat grass'' seeds and plant well away from your flowers, the cats love it and won't stray where they are not wanted.
