Author Garden: Kittens, container gardening, bad mix Lefse Super Gardener Member # 1380 posted                       How do you keep them out? Litter box is 3 feet away. Big cats use it, kittens occasionally still use it. * * * * "He who sees things grow from the begining will have the best view of them" - Aristotle Plants: 788 | From: SW Oregon | Registered: Jul 2003  |  Seeded: 207.14.166.83 njoynit Garden Pro!

They seem to enjoy some of the containers more than others, but here's betting they'll move to the others if I don't do them all! Off to the store for oranges! * * * * "He who sees things grow from the begining will have the best view of them" - Aristotle Plants: 788 | From: SW Oregon | Registered: Jul 2003  |  Seeded: 207.14.166.152 papito Super Gardener Member # 1346 posted                       How about a "Cat garden"? A secluded place where your cats and those of your neighbors can go partying with "Catnip", Catmint" and other plants that attracts them; then maybe they'll stay away from your favorite potted plants. * * * * Amor est vitae essentia.

Member # 709 posted                       Lefse I have had great luck with moth balls. I had noticed the cats had been using a flowerbed for their bathroom so I scattered moth balls around the area and they didn't come back around until the moth balls were gone. I noticed my dogs didn't like them either. Although my nephews wanted to play with them. LOL Good luck with the kitten.
