Fluffy purring creatures are not only an inexhaustible source of joy and affection, but also the cause of numerous troubles.

One of the mischiefs that cats are capable of, albeit unconsciously, is using the garden as a litter box.

Besides the fact that the unlucky gardener will stumble upon piles buried without much care here and there, the smell will be corresponding.

Fortunately, there is a surefire way to keep pets away from your lovingly grown apple trees, currants and other vegetation.

To do this, you will need the most ordinary coffee grounds, which are usually thrown into the trash can every time after drinking a cup of strong coffee.

You have two options: either sprinkle the coffee grounds in piles around the plants or mix them into the top layer of soil.

This unexpected remedy will cope with scaring away cats better than any other.

The main thing is to ensure that the coffee grounds coating is not too dense, otherwise it will be difficult for moisture to penetrate the soil.
