Does lemon repel cats

Answer 1

Cats generally dislike citrus scents, finding them overwhelming to the feline's delicate sense of smell. If you are using it to keep cats away from certain things, it's important to remember how the thing you are spraying is going to react to either the juice or the oil, which is highly acidic and a potent degreaser, in order.

Of course, I had a cat who loved eating mandarin Oranges, so Your Mileage May Vary.

A better way to get cats to avoid an area is to set up "cat traps." Set up a box filled with empty aluminum cans that will tip over when it is messed with. Put open magazines over the edges of tall furniture, so if they try to jump up on it it will let them slide off. There are also commercial devices that are motion sensitive and will squirt water or air at the cat.

I maintain that the best way to train cats is to develop a close emotional relationship with them so that misbehaving hurts your feelings. They will respond to that.

If you are trying to keep the cat from scratching furniture, aluminum foil or double sided sticky back tape are better cat discouragers. And get them scratching posts, similar to what they want to scratch now.
