| One of the things I have done, is to put regular balloons out in the garden. The cats will pop them and then run away. After a few weeks of tying balloons to branches stuck in the ground, or to the plants themselves, substitute the balloons with balls, which do not pop but act as a visual reminder. Some cats will not have any problem with popping ballons, but most will decide to leave well enough alone. I love cats by the way and I know their behavior, they are adorable, but they love to dig!

| Why not plant some catnip in an area where you would like the cats to hang out? Suggestion; a sunny spot. Cats, like other animals are telepathic. They see whatever you are picturing in your head. If you want the cat to stay out of your garden you have to "Stop" picturing the cat IN your garden. Picture the cat where you want him to be. Pay attention to your thoughts. Good Luck. I'm picturing success for you. | |

| If neighborhood stray cats love your garden, sprinkle cayenne pepper or citrus peel pieces throughout the surface. This will not harm them but they'll remember that your garden is no longer their bathroom or playground! | |

| My cat was invading my neighbor's garden. We both tried different methods to keep her away. I finally kept the cat in the house for two weeks. I figured she would forget after awhile and explore another area. Apparently, it did work since the neighbor no longer saw her there. It wasn't easy to keep her in for two weeks but I felt it was my responsibility to keep her from destroying my neighbors flowers. | |
