Cats and foxes

Hello gardeners. We seem to get a number of cats and foxes frequenting our borders for a private moment or 2... Is there anything (humane!!!) i can plant to deter them? I'd love not to be clearing up after them :smiley:

    Sprinkle and like in  holly twigs and leaves. The dried dead ones work best. I keep a bag of them to poke into containers until the plants get big enough to deter them.

    RSPB offer different sonic devices to put off cats and foxes. They also offer devices for deer and one for mice.

    Hosta gets a virtual pound every time someone complains about cats - well I'm assuming it's virtual. Long running joke @#NewbieGardener

    Sorry, 
    A million years ago I said " I wish I had £1 for every new thread complaining about neighbours' cats"

    And now you’re lazing on a sun lounger on your very own Caribbean island @Hostafan1 🏝

    Just noticed that a couple of my daffs have been trampled. As they are on the feline footpath, I know who I'm blaming :(

    Indeed so. I just call out responses and some random Bronzed Adonis does the typing for me.
