Keeping the Cats Out

We thought our garden had slugs: the potato plant leaves had severely chomped, and as soon as we put the brocolli starts in the ground, those leaves started to go, too. Boy were we wrong.

Turns out, there’s a cat in the garden, and he’s feasting on almost everyone’s plants. We’re currently trying to figure out the best way to keep this guy out safely. Supposedly, there are tablets you can scatter that essentially put off coyote piss smell. No cat wants any part of a coyote.

Another option I’ve read about it spraying the leaves with pepper-water or soapy water so he loses the taste for them. Not sure yet what the best solution is.
