This has not worked for usLaz, best way to keep cats out the garden? Get your own! They are using your place as there isn't a cat owning the space. Not the answer you wanted...
Any cat I've had loves lavender, one we had as kids used to sleep in mum's lavender plants all day. The current cat goes a bit nuts when I put fresh bedding on, the smell is like cat nip to her.
I get that, but plants are trying to be planting!Cats be catting, ain't shit no cat can do about it. DAMN.
Mine are indoor only too. My OH built me a catio so they can go out on my little balcony and stay safe. They seem to like their territory because they never bolt for the front door. I’d be worried sick if they were outdoor cats.Some people think it's mean that I don't allow my cats to go outside but really, these days it's the best way to have them. I love cats but they do so much damage to wildlife and I'd be mortified if Susan just walked into someone's house and took over. (She's very bossy and over-friendly, that is totally something she would do.)
Oh just do what my mum does- chilli powder and bang on the window.He (Mr Laz) is hearing the messages loud and clear and considers himself well and truly told.
We’ve removed the most damaged plants (all my plants are in pots, as I’m in a very typical Liverpool terraced house with a concrete yard).
We’ve put them in the front garden, and I’ll try to get some new soil, wash the roots and repot them; will orderand have chucked all the cat food and licky sticks in the bin.
we have a large lavender plant which one of the cats lies in. 🫣
I’m definitely not enough of a cat person to have my own. I just about accept them, I’m not a cat lover by any stretch of the imagination. I have too many nice things to risk a cat using my belongings as a scratching post, too.
Chili powder where? Same with theOh just do what my mum does- chilli powder and bang on the window.
which is also what I’ll end up doing if this lad keeps coming back and looking at my housematewho doesn’t like other cats.
Well done Laz and Mr Laz. Good to be on the same page on something like this.He (Mr Laz) is hearing the messages loud and clear and considers himself well and truly told.

I have the same concerns about cats and wildlife MCM.Some people think it's mean that I don't allow my cats to go outside but really, these days it's the best way to have them.

Doesn't work- Bettycat1 was a tortie terror, even scared off the local bully cat so that was sorted. Didn't stop assorted Toms pissing up my front door whenever her back was turned!Laz, best way to keep cats out the garden? Get your own!

He’s not normally a tosserWell done Laz and Mr Laz. Good to be on the same page on something like this.
Good point with the water. I keep a spray bottle close by for when one of mine does something like scratching the couch. They hate it, I don't even need to use it now just pick it up and they stop.Tom cat. Constant squirting with a soaker of something they hate, or electric fence. Neither will work long term if ladies are around .
There's also the ultrasonic cat repeller option, which my dad used to keep wandering cats away from his bird feeders. We used to visit with our cats, can confirm that cats definitely swerve when they come within range - not in an "ow that hurts" way, more a puzzled WTF? wayChili powder where? Same with the
sorry, I’m not familiar with deterring cats. Does the cat poo and chilli powder go on my plants?
Mostly, the pissy arsed one doesn’t sniff the plants or anything, he just walks up and pisses on them! I’m not sure how much of a deterrent all of this will be
The people next door to me had one of these. It didn't work. The best way I've found to keep cats off bird feeders is to place the feeders in a spiky tree or bush - holly is ideal - that cats don't like going up.There's also the ultrasonic cat repeller option, which my dad used to keep wandering cats away from his bird feeders.
