Warrior Mom Posts: 4400	I'm at my wits end with all these cats around here using the vegetable garden and my planters as their litter box! I saw a few sprays and powders at the hardware store but they were really high priced for a little bottle. Was wondering if there was a homemade concoction to deter them.

I may try that. Those fancy sprays and powders were pepper based.. maybe try cayenne pepper or chili powder or black pepper.
