You can take this one a few ways but some basic ideas are things such as going out and buying different cat repellants. Many cat stores have things that do a great job. Mothballs can be bought and they also do a really fine job at deterring those pesky felines. Citrus as a general rule, also does a great job. Weird enough, cats don’t really like citrus.

Water water water

Water, from the beginning of time, has always been cat’s kryptonite. You likely have noticed that they don’t like water so keeping your plants with lots of water will help deter the felines.

No matter what you decide to do, being proactive is the key to keeping cats out. Make sure that you try a few ideas and see what is the best for your garden today.
