Keeping Cats from Using House Plants as Litterbox

Simple, but very effective! After years of trying almost everything to stop Brooklyn, our cat, from leaving his deposit in my overwintering houseplants I finally hit on this method which seems to have stopped him in his tracks. If you own pets you more than likely have a disposable sticky roll or two for removing hair from clothing. Simply peel off as many strips as needed. Lay them sticky side up on top of the soil. There is no need to cover every square inch, just place them close enough that your cat has no comfortable room to enter and get squatted. There is enough room to water your plants and if need to easily replace. Works like a charm!

The method she is describing uses the sticky paper from a lint roller. She removes it from the roll and places it on the soil of her plant. The cat doesn't like the sticky paper so will avoid the plant. Hope that helps.

That is a good idea. I use smooth river stones on top of my larger houseplants to deter my cat from doing this.

I laid some aluminum foil down and it totally freaked them out. Problem solved.
