How to Keep Cats Out of Your Garden 😾 My Controversial Opinion

People stop complaining that cats are destroying your garden when you brought them into the human world in the first place! Wild animals want nothing to do with humans and those we find using your herbal garden as a litter-box have been inter-feared with.

A guide on all the things you can do to keep wandering cats out of your garden. Why would you want to do this? If you have a well tended garden then you might have some experience with the neighbourhood cats using your flowerbed as their litter tray!

If a neighbourhood cat is disturbing your garden there are ways to humanely deter them:

Don't offer cats food, as they're likely to return.
Plant shrubs closely, grow prickly plants, or use small pebbles or chippings to make it difficult for cats to dig.
Keep flower beds watered as some cats don't like wet earth.
Shoo them away by shouting or clapping.
Install an automatic spray that detects movement.
Make it difficult to enter the garden with high, close-boarded fences.
Ask the owner if the cat is neutered and ensure there's a suitable toilet area in their own garden.
