what can i put in a flower bed to keep the cats out ?
Answers:
Are these your cats or someone Else's cats?
I'm assuming that shotguns or poisons aren't what you're looking for.
You would have to put up chicken wire but it would have to be high enough that the cats can not jump it. I have heard that Shake-Away works well. Plant Rosemary, Oregano, lavender, rue, geranium, absinthe, and lemon-thyme. Moth balls are toxic so be careful here.
Try this:
2 parts cayenne pepper
3 parts dry mustard
5 parts flour
Simply mix together and sprinkle.
Use large flat river stones or something to this effect in your garden beds to make the soil less dig-gable, and so less attractive to cats. You can also use them in houseplant pots to keep the furry little diggers out of them.
4. Cats don’t like tea leaves, so empty your used ones onto the garden soil. Coffee grounds also.
5. You could also try using a sprinkler that is activated by a motion-sensor. All it takes is a time or two of getting dowsed with water to deter any cat. It can work for intruders, too.
I have dogs in my yard so cats do not come into my yard. The squirrels bury their nuts in my flower pots though. LOL.
But cat poop in the vegetable garden is not a good thing
Good luck!

They make products that you can spray around your plants so that animals will not go near them, they are called animal repellents. Also there is a product that you can buy that will let out a noise that animals can hear and they will stay away, but if you have a pet that is not a good idea to use.
You can try going to a petsmart, or other pet store or even go on the internet and you will find alot of different things that you can buy. Also, some hardware stores carry repellents for animals.
Half fill clear glass bottles with water, replace the cap and place every 6 feet in the flower beds. Cats and dogs will stay away.
