  I am also at wit’s end on how to keep them from doing their business on my porch. I will try your orange peel and see whether or not it works.

    So they say Daiso’s cat repellant works wonders too. Shall we both try that? I’ll go hunt for it this weekend.

      My spouse bought rat repellent bags from daiso before but not for the cats. I asked him whether effective for rats or not and he said he don’t know. Lol!

  Aiyorrrrrrrr!!!! Cruelty to animals. I put nails or thumb tacks on your toilet seat, you like or not? Hehehehehehe!!!! Put out a sandbox – they will do it there. Cats are good, they do not do their business anywhere and everywhere…unlike dogs…but the stench from the poop in the sandbox can be killing!!!

    You gave me such a good idea. I shall put nails and thumb tacks in my pots now. Hahahaha. I don’t want to put a sandbox. I don’t welcome these strays. Sometimes they are not even strays, they are somebody’s cat. I don’t like them. A sandbox will only welcome them more.

  After juicing, my hubby will dispose the residue into the plants pots. No cats coming into my garden but flies! Sigh.

  But the neighbour’s cats once a while climbing up my car as I could see the paw prints. Lol.

    Cover the fruit pulp with soil, flies wont come. I see paw prints on our cars too. Worse is they poop on our awning. Argh!

  Place charcoal because it takes away the smell of the poop. And usually cats coming back to the same pot due the pooping smell. It works for us last time when cat keep poop infront our house.,

    That means I have to go get charcoal. I don’t have charcoal at home.
