Are there Stray Cats in my flower beds?
Like any other unwanted critter, stray cats can be a real nuisance, especially if you have a garden or flower beds. From digging and messing up your flowers, to marking their territory with pee, strays can cause many problems.
What happens when a stray cat escapes Your House?
My cats are indoor cats, but several months after Karma’s successful integration to the household, she managed to escape outside. We almost did not get her back. Once outside, it was as if her personality changed. She became “distant,” seemed almost wild, and would not respond to us.
What to do if a stray cat shows up on Your Doorstep?
Sometimes a cat shows up in your neighborhood or on your doorstep, and it’s obvious that the cat is feral. There’s no way you’re going to lure the cat inside or touch her, and the best you can do is feed her, and hopefully, implement some TNR. The large gray area with free-roaming cats, however, are stray cats. A stray cat may seem feral at first.
What can I do to keep stray cats away from my garden?
To stop cats from peeing in your flower beds, lay down chicken wire flat in your soil before planting. You can use wire cutters to make spaces for your plants to grow through. Chicken wire is excellent at keeping stray cats away because they don’t like the feel of the fence on their paws.
