putting something citrus scented in/near it, cats hate citrus!Hello cat people, I am looking for some cat related advice. My neighbours have an indoor cat which they let out into their yard occasionally and now the weather is nice it has transpired that their cat is coming into our yard on her daily outings and using our vegetable patch as a litter tray. Can anyone suggest a way of preventing this?!

This. Lemon or orange peel should work or even a bottle of lemon juice squirted around. Won't harm the cats or your vegetables.
@emm @DCICassieStuart thank you both! It came up on my google search but it’s good to know it’s not an old wives’ tale!
welcome! of course the alternative would be to get a cat yourself that would act as a big deterrent for other cats
It does work. I have a cat myself and there are about 4 or 5 others around here too. My neighbour has a sandpit for her kids and like that, one (or more, she wasn't sure) of the cats was using it as a litter tray so obviously she didn't want to let the kids play in it anymore.
I said it to her about the citrus and she just throws the peel from any oranges out there and the remains of lemons and limes when she uses them in cooking.
I would love a cat but I’m allergic! I think the previous owners had a dog which might explain why it’s suddenly started happeningwelcome! of course the alternative would be to get a cat yourself that would act as a big deterrent for other cats
oh my gosh poor you! this is my idea of hell! let us know how it goes with the citrus!I would love a cat but I’m allergic! I think the previous owners had a dog which might explain why it’s suddenly started happening
