HELP!! having cat problems.
okay so we have several outside cats and they are very tame. Well they stay up by the house. ANd they LOVE to lay in my flowers!!!
What can i do/use to stop this. it started getting really bad last year. i resulted to using sticks, sticking them up like bamboos. HOwever this is not very pretty, LOL.
I remember someone mentioned orange peels for them not to poop in places, which they tend to do that sometimes in my flower mounds with mulch, UGH!!
All suggestions appreciated!!!
ANd we have a big field all the way around us, so there are other places for them to go!!My "adopted" brother. Gone but not forgotten. 8/23/09

Sprinkle hot/red pepper seeds in the garden and cats will stay out. They are notorious for licking their paws and don't like the hot/red pepper. Kept my neighbors cats out of my gardens. And it was harmless to animals, they just didn't like the taste.
Toodles, Nanajoanie

They talking about this today on the radio and said moth balls works good.

I use orange peels to keep critters out of my gardens. To make it stronger,I put the peels in a blender to release the citrus oils and add some water to it and sprinkle anywhere I do not want a critter to be.
A dog is not almost human , I know of no greater insult to a canine than to describe it as such.

Moth balls work, and they will not lick them, they cannot stand the smell.
The oil is all in Texas, but the dipsticks are in D.C.
