keep cats out

hey guys, my crop is in its second week of flowering and im starting to get scared that it might attract my neighbor's cats. Is there an efficient way to keep cats away from my crop?

Place some rat poison near the pots



hahaha just kidding seriously don't do that. i like cats

put some vinegar around the area you want to keep them out of, they hate the smell of vinegar and are scared of snakes.

Who says cats are scared of snakes? Mine certainly aren't.

try orange peel or lemon peel they really dont like anything citrus like

Get a dog?

Well, cats don't like wet, so maybe mulch a perimeter and keep that moist? They also don't like walking on chicken wire and they HATE getting zinged w/BB's! (probably shouldn't be target practicing on your neighbors cat)
If you're as good an aim as I, there's no danger of actually hitting the damn cat, but the confusion still runs 'em off.

thanks guys i got one more issue. this might just be over reacting but will birds mess with my crop too? and if so what can i do keep them away?

A touch paranoid? I've got cats, birds that can get into where my plants are but they aren't interested in the least - they have other things to do. The birds get my strawberries and tomatos, but only when they start to turn red.

If you are really worried, you can get bird net at lawn/garden store (I paid $11 for a 14x14 size) and create a structure for it to hang off of/around to surround your plants. It's very thin but durrable.

If you are worried about cats, then use chicken wire on the structure and then drape w/ bird net.

But if you're going to be worried, worry about snails, slugs, grasshoppers, leaf miners, thrips, white fly, powdery mildew....

Chicken Wire
dont make it so complex !

My animals seem to hate the smell of weed . . . the dogs make a face when I offer them a smell. I think perhaps nature has dictated that only a few insects, and man, enjoy this plant. In 40 years, never had any pest issues other than mites.
However, deer, elk, antelope, etc . . . they're a grows enemies and will make your plant(s) disappear overnight! No wonder they tend to sleep all day?

yea i dont think u have to worry about ur crops and a cat cuz what is a cat gonna do to ur plant? i know my cat Gobbles will rub up against my plants but thats about it lol no worries

can you please tell that to my cat is it has a tendency to bring them home to show and tell ,along with fucking rats and other little cute things, it has murdered ,touble is two of the snakes were still alive and very pissed off being left at my back door. p.s also does not fuck with my plants , nor does my bull mastiff that keeps other cats and most living creatures away , as far as birds they may shit on them ???. or you could buy a pet falcon or something that would solve the bird probem ,and maybe the cats , or i will rent my dog , it hates most things that move.
