Hello Antonio,

  Cats hate Ruta graveolens. Grow a thick border of the stuff around your 
prized mulched urban backyard and say goodbye to cats. The border has to be 
fairly tall or thick so that cats have to brush up against the plant 
releasing its foul smell (to cats) to get to your beds.

Yours,

Andrew.
