How Do You Stop Cats From Defecating In Flower Beds?
Flower beds make ideal outdoor litter boxes for cats because felines are attracted to areas where they can dig and cover their feces. Mulch or loose soil around flowers provides attractive covering material. The cats can damage the flowers when they dig, and their feces can create unsanitary conditions and odor. There are a few tricks that you can try to keep cats away from your flower beds without compromising their aesthetic appeal. Plant aromatic plants that are unpleasant to cats around the flower beds. Good choices include lavender and thyme. Spread these throughout the beds, but do not plant so many that they compete with your flowers.
