Don't laugh.

Listerine, fart putty, and, if all else fails, keep a cinnamon shaker in your pocket and shake it near their face if they are doing something you don't want them doing. It's not that cats hate cinnamon, but the powder, without hurting them, makes their breathing slightly more difficult while it still lingers in the air.

The most natural cat repellent, that is safe to use, is Ultrasonic devices. They use discomforting effects of in-air ultrasound, they are much more safe than those which hurts the animal, or gives any physical damage.

Many individuals are greatly annoyed by the neighborhood cats using their flower beds as litter boxes. There are a few natural cat deterrents that can be made at home. Lemon is a fresh and pleasant scent to humans but not liked by cats. Eucalyptus is a known deterrent to many animals and also deters fleas and mosquitoes. To make this deterrent combine one litre of water, the zest of one lemon and twenty drops of eucalyptus oil in a spray bottle.
