Cats peeing in flowers

[Jamie Bing]

Does anyone have any ideas on keeping the neighborhood cats out of the flower beds? It is hard on my wife when she finds a "surprise" and gets to gagging

I dont want to have to break out the bb gun

Get a dog....ha..just kidding someone told me cats know when there is a dog around...however I use mothballs, they work for awhile until they get rained on and also cayenne pepper works great, cat licks his paws and hates the taste...won't come back.....:

Too bad they don't make a motion sensor snake, cats hate um, cat walks past beam, snake starts hissing and wigglin, cat gets a goin
ORR get a recording of dogs barking, set it up with a motion sensor, cat walks in, dogs bark, cat leaves!

HaHa at the dog.. I actually have 2 and they leave the flower beds alone. Squirted them with water hose a few times and that broke them.

I like the cayenne pepper. So there are no issues with it harming your typical flower bed type plants?

Thanks

Not sosure about those snakes, at least not garter's...Spike Kitty has brought a few of them in the house for us. Maybe a boa or rattler might work?
