Tell okorder / Citrus scented cleaners can be another means of keeping cats out of your garden. Be aware that you will need to re-apply this occasionally since the scent will wash off with water. Another idea that may involve less maintenance but more money is to set up sprinklers attached to motion sensors. So when the cat walks near the garden, the sprinklers will turn on, scaring the cat away. ** Never use mothballs, because they can harm the cat. Mothballs are composed of naphthalene and/or paradichlorobenzene; both are toxic substances.

Wire netting, broken eggshells or holly leaves on bare earth will keep cats away from the bare soil in flower beds because it will be too uncomfortable underfoot for them to want to walk there. Even cocktail or lollipop sticks placed in the soil at regular intervals will also deter the cats for the same reason. Perhaps a gift voucher for a local gardening store might help placate the neighbours a little? Most cats find it hard to resist the temptation of freshly dug soil, but if you haven't provided your cats with a litter tray, perhaps it would be a good idea to do so as that could help.
Three choices: 1. Keep them inside at all times. 2. Train your cat to a harness/leash and stay out with him. 3. Build/buy a cat enclosure and put your cat in there. Its YOUR responsibility to control you pet - dog or cat - so keep your cat in your yard at all times.
