Yes, coffee grounds keep rabbits out of gardens, according to anecdotal, not scientifically researched, gardening. The leptorids in question prefer to avoid harsh textures and strong smells.

No, coffee grounds do not keep hydrangeas blue on their own.Specifically, the blue blooms on the hydrangea are the result of the plant being able to take aluminum from the soil into the roots. Aluminum has to be in soluble form for plant root intake. A soil that is too dry impedes adequate aluminum intake and therefore proper blue blossoming. Coffee grounds work to retain moisture in soil.
Castor oil, coffee ground mulches, companion planting of garlic and mints, diatomaceous earth, fences, hot pepper sprays, human hair clips, row covers, sprinklers and uncluttered access are ways to keep rabbits and squirrels out of gardens.

One way to keep cats out of your garden is the following: Every time you make a pot of coffee, set aside the used coffee grounds until they are dried out (you can continuously use a plastic container specifically for thisa purpose). One the used coffee grounds are dried out, take them out to your garden and spread/sprinkle them in and around the area where you don't want cats going. The extra benefit of this is that the used coffee grounds have certain nitrates in them that plants love and therefore they are a good fertilizer as well.
