    Sprinkle red pepper or chili powder around the garden. May need to reapply. One sniff and they will learn. Won't harm the cats or plants.

    Some cats don't like the texture of wood mulch, especially the splintered kind. Another option would be to use rocks over the soil.

    Hi Nell, hope this helps you out.

    Try orange and lemon peels, cayenne pepper, coffee grounds, lavender oil, lemon grass oil, citronella oil, peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, and mustard oil. You can either sprinkle drops directly onto your flower beds or soak a cotton wool around it and place at entry points. One sniff and they'll be gone.
