Nuisence Cat

[lynandben]

i have a small back yard with lots of pots for plants but there is a cat next door that keeps digging in them, i have tried lots of things on the market but they are very expensive, has anyone got any sugestions please

Cats don't like the smell of citrus so you could try putting some cut oranges or lemons on the soil in the pot. Worth a try and it won't harm the cat either.

If you put out old teabags with "Olbas" oil on them - my cats used to hate it so I would use this when planting out seeds etc to keep them off the soil.

naz - so you are the one who smashed my sons kittens face in and caused a �200 vet bill

not necessarily ...but the idea may have come from me ...

I but that stopped the damn cat from going in that garden though

Crushed moth balls is an inexpensive and effective cat deterrent

[Norma Stitz]

I agree with the moth balls but I'm scared of moths so they're difficult for me to catch! Another thing that worked for me was to put a small perforated bag with some of my dog's poo in on the top of the pots.

in my pot plants i either use plastic mesh or....dare i say it... cut down gripper rods laid on top ov the soil. And, if you can get hold of it, holly leaves,more prickly the better. x

trap the cat then phone the RSPCA and tell them youve
caught a stray and get them to take it away
