How can I keep cats out of my flower beds?

I have tried orange peels and coffee grounds neither of them worked. The poop all in my flowers and spray that HORRIBLE smell every where. Can anyone please help?

We have the same problem. We sprinkle cayenne pepper on and around the plants, they hate that. You will have to repeat after a rain storm though, it washes off. This keeps raccoons out of the beds as well.
Reply:Cats can be so obstinate to your every disruption. They seem to Know your every next move and humiliate you at every opportunity. I share your frustration! The only thing that has shown some promise is cruel. They remember pain and refuse to revisit it. A grid of sharp barbed-wire along with a good dusting of hot-pepper flakes is what it takes to stop your kitty determination. Provide them an oasis and they go there every time.
Reply:the things i helped my mom used would be red peppers and hot red pepper in the bottled seasoning. it works.
Reply:I purchase a product to keep rabbits away,smells like rotten eggs,and it keeps away everything! Just spray onto the plants in the garden,doesn't hurt the plants.Stay upwind when using cause it really stinks.The smell goes away after it dries,but remains effective.
Reply:There's a product in Australia (I don't know if its available anywhere else) called cat scat, they are spikes that you cat they on the fence or flower beds or anywhere it doesn't hurt them they'll try to go there but they won't.
Reply:I put mouse traps all over my beds after removing two garbage bags of feces, scares the heck out of them
Reply:I have these great motion sensitive heads on stakes, connected to the hose, that sprays water every time it senses movement. Of course you'd have to turn off the hose when you will be working in the garden, but they work wonderfully for cats and lots of other critters.They are available at most H%26amp;G centers, or online
Reply:buy the basic chicken wire. Lay it on the ground in front of the flower beds. They not only do not like walking on it, they cannot dig holes.
Reply:spary them with water they will go away.get a spray bottle and spray them every time you see them in your flower beds they will run.
