wild cat poop on flower bed

19 years ago

Hi,

These few days, I have found wild cat's poop underneath the mulch of my flower bed. There are a lot of mulched places around shrubs and trees and on hillside. I don't know why the wild cat(s) has(have) to poop in my flower bed. Is it because it has more moisture there than other places or what? I know that a lot of critters don't like garlic and lemon smell. Despite the fact that I chopped garlic and lemon peels and scattered them on the flower bed today, are there ways to repel the cats. Thanks

if you just want to repel them, buy a motion activate sprinkler.

or get a dog.

Cats like to bury their poop, so your mulch looks like a big cat litter box. I agree, orange and lemon peels scattereed about will keep cats away.
