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.

Hi,
what can you do to deter cats from doing their needs on your garden soil
especially if well mulched, and you don't want to have a dog?
I guess this must be a very common situation especially on urban backyards.
Is there a plant perhaps you can use that keeps them away, because of its scent/smell or so?
Any feedback welcomed
Cheers
Antonio
