Some cats are especially attracted to their owner’s or neighbor’s garden for their potty needs. This can be a problem especially if one is trying to grow a vegetable garden. Also, newly-grown plants can be trampled on by cats. Cat owners can also get in hot water with their neighbors because of their pets’ behavior.

Ways to keep cats away from gardens

• Some plants repel cats because they emit a scent that cats hate. Plant these around your garden to keep out any cat.
• Install sprinklers with timers so the garden soil is kept wet and unappealing to your kitty. There are also motion-activated sprinklers that you can use for this purpose. Cats hate walking on wet or muddy soil, and the addition of sprinklers will certainly make the garden more uninviting to them since they hate to get wet.
