keeping animals out of plants

Ok. My house is like, clusterfucked, so I finally ended up putting my plants in the kitchen. How can I keep a cat out of it???my cat keeps digging up plants... Is there any thing i can put nearby as a repellent that wont harm my plants?? i know they make animal repellent sprays, but would they be safe for use near the plants???

tie a mean assed dog to your plant? or better yet tie the dog to the cat. lol j/k ive heard of ppl useing q tips with 1 end dipped into vinager and pull the cotton off the other end and stick it in to the soil. 5 or 6 per pot. but thats just hear say. if you try it let me know if it works.
good luck n keep us posted

build a moat around em! Hmm, cats hate to be suprised, maybe set up some of those stupid motion detector noise makers. Like one of those frogs that ribbits really loud or some funky haloween movin monster or maybe a door matt with some crazy sound...hmm, good luck

my dogs killed my cat =(

sorry about your cat

i dont see a noise maker working well, especially when i'm try to sleep and the cats are bouncing around like they've been popping prozac....lol


i may try the vinegar thing...my mom said to bury a cottonball soaked in ginger oil. we'll see.

I know to keep the neighbours cat out of the dirt out front i put nutmeg in the dirt. Seems to work although i wouldnt put it in with the plant.

first question, why does everyone have a cat.... dogs is a mans best friend

suggestion: electric collar screw cats

Sprinkle cayenne pepper around your plants. Better yet put them in a room where no critters can get to them.

Sadly, I own a 5 bedroom house, and there is not room that is pet free LOL. They just kinda roam around the premises. No one (least of all me) can remember to shut a door.
