Homeless or other people's cats can cause a lot of trouble on the property, from damaging property and digging up beds and flower beds to fighting with your pets.

The most humane way to protect yourself from problems is to use cat repellents.

And such “devices” will also be useful for the home – if, for example, you don’t want to see your pet in certain rooms.

You can either buy a ready-made repeller - they can be water, ultrasonic, aerosol, etc. - or make one yourself.

The “craft” will take only a couple of minutes and the most common components: homemade cat repellents are made from substances that have unpleasant odors for animals - vinegar, pepper, garlic, essential oils, etc.

Let's stick with the last option: take lemon, lavender, orange, eucalyptus, sandalwood or mint essential oils (you can use a mixture).

Dissolve six drops of oil in 150 ml of water and pour the resulting mixture into a spray bottle.

The liquid can be used to treat a wide variety of objects – wires, furniture, plants, etc. The main thing is not to spray it on light-colored fabrics, as it may leave marks on them.
