Natural Cat Repellent
Have we mentioned our furry friends yet? Yes we do have a bunch here! 10 cats all indoors and one shihtzu. Recently we’ve noticed out smallest rescued kitty “Sweet Pea” is having accidents on the couch. We plan to have her spayed next week and know that this will help a lot. Because she is a bit of a feral cat, we will take extra steps that we can to prevent her from having these accidents and steer her towards the cat littler box.
A natural cat repellent method I’ve recent become aware of consists of using rosemary plant cuttings or essential oils as a cat repellent. Personally I love the smell of rosemary so this wont bother us at all. Today I will be purchasing some oil and diluting it with water then lightly spraying the couch, which we keep covered with a blanket or two.
Keeping the fingers crossed! We’ll report back as to how well this idea actually works!
That’s a great tip. Let us know how well it works. I have a temperamental cat myself. She always goes to the same place when she’s mad at me (and it’s not hard to make my cat mad).
How did the Rosemary work?
It worked fantastic! We took the additional step of bringing another cat box out to the living room, not really where we want to have one, but between that and the spray she completely lost interest in the couch is and it still doing very well. She has a funny of habit of streaking out of the litter box “house” like a bullet and running up and down the hall, she seems to be having fun with it!
