Here is what I did , take a pop bottle fill it halfway with water and lay it down sideways in your garden apparently they don't like the motion of the water it seems to have helped me, I read that mothballs also worked, but there is a plant called piss off from ritchers herbs go online and source them out I buy herbs from them. My brother uses netting all around his raised beds, I will try that too this year. Agnes

I am looking for any help with keeping the stray cats that live on our porch out of my flowerbeds. There are 9 of them that my two daughters keep feeding!
If you have a problem with cats pooping in your garden, plant some Lavender or put a pot or two at each end of it. They can't stand the smell of it and will scat!
The cats in my neighborhood like to sleep in the shade under my Spanish lavender bushes. One of them even likes to rub her face on the French lavender bush. I guess cats in California must be just as weird as the rest of us. (03/04/2011)
