What can be used to keep cats from going in the flower beds and on the patio furniture?
if you want cats to stop going on the patio furniture and in the flower beds just sprinkle some pepper on them they don't like the smell of pepper. It's cheap and not harmful to the cats. But if they're your cats not neighborhood cats the best and most effective solution is just to buy a litter box and keep them inside.

I would check with your vet. I do know that cats do not like marigolds.

Reply:Lime,"not the fruit".Lime is sold at almost every hardware store,and I believe walmart has it to.Lime is a powder like substance that you would spread through out your garden,it will not harm our plants but will "sting" the bottoms of animals when they squat to relieve themselves.
Reply:I have tried a host of different things... Lime, bleach, cayanne pepper, some special junk from the pet store. Nothing seemed to work. Then my three y/o son decided to relieve himself one day in the flower bed, and whaa laa, the cats stayed away for weeks. That seemed to work better than the bb gun, the electrified fence wire, and the remote controlled weed whacker.
Reply:Cats hate (Yes, hate) citrus smells. Oranges of all kinds are the best. Put it under the cushion of furniture and within the gardes soil. Also, if you eat out there clean it up. Cats adore the scents of spices.
