What is a Cat Repellent?
A cat repellent is a product, home remedy or commercial, that is used to keep cats away from an area. Cats, and sometimes dogs, who are allowed to run loose may find their way into a yard and relieve themselves. These messes can destroy gardens, grass, and children’s sand boxes. Even cat lovers find that they may have an area or two where their cat is unwanted. Cat waste can be harmful to humans and especially pregnant women when toxoplasmosis, which can cause birth defects, is present. Most commercial cat repellents are very effective at keeping cats away, however cost is often an issue over the long term.
