How can I protect my plants?


I have just finished planting out my garden and what do I find? Cats have been using it for their toilet and scratched up a lot of the plants.....my own cat being one of the culprits! I have tried all sorts of deterrents including special gel crystals, orange peel, moth balls, bottles of water but nothing seems to work. Has anyone got any suggestions so that I can save my plants....please....please....please !

I guess the only one left is....

A water gun! No really I heard it's the best way to 'train' them to STAY OFF! lol

or I gues you could always get an electrical fence type thing...

Thanks for the advice Azz...the water gun not the electric fence
Trouble is you can't always catch the little so & so's doing it!!

I think you've got the right idea...everyone should have an indoor cat and clean out their own litter tray!

Maybe a water gun with a sensor then? Or one of those Frogs that croak once some passes it?! Sure we could 'modify' it and attach it to a water pistol!? lol

Its hard work cleaning out their tray everyday mind!
