How do you keep cats from using plants for a litter box?

Answer 1

There are many ways, though some are drastic, it can be done;

1. Use you garden hose and hose them away, eventually they will get tired of getting wet.

2. Use Pet Away, they don't like it.

3. Use Cocomulch, they don't like the feel of this on the pads of their feet.

4. Spray lemon juice throughout your yard or garden, this will last til next rainfall.

5. Call animal control.

6. If all else fails, this is the most drastic one of all, you will have to move.

Answer 2

try squirting the cat with water we do that and they had stopped it

** Of course, this means you have to watch your flowerbed 24-7. Try using a light spray of vinegar or ammonia on the dirt of the flowerbed.

Answer 3

Next time it does it, rubs its nose in it. and repeat everytime it does it until it stops. and it will. might seem harsh... but tough love! Added 9/10/09: DO NOT rub your cat's nose in it. This will not stop him and he will associate YOU with feces, not the action. The best approach is usually a water gun or hose.

Answer 4

Well, you could try moving the plants out of reach or closing the door to the room/s with plants. You could also try giving your cat a litter box that they LOVE. For example: try putting treats that your cat likes near the litter box. You can also try to give the litter box a "roof" of canvas or something like that. That way, it's not just a litter box; it's a hidey-house!
