If you are the owner of a representative of the cat family and live in a private house, or there are four-rogue pranksters living next to you, then you should be prepared for the fact that you may have some problems. After all, they love to “manage” on foreign sites. In order to prevent such a possibility, there are several simple and effective means that frighten cats. We will talk about what smells they do not like and how to apply them.

"Trouble" caused by a cat in the garden / at the cottage

A cat is a freedom-loving and playful animal that is very difficult to bring up. Cats are very fond of everything new, especially their tempting study. Therefore, if your neighbors have a fluffy pet, then soon wait for the “guest” in your garden.

Do not underestimate the problems that may arise when a cat appears on the site:

• Cats love to mark their “territory” and the neighbor's garden clearly falls under this concept. Males of cats use for this purpose not only urine, but also a special secret, which, if they hit garden plants and fruit and vegetable crops, simply burns them. In addition, they love to sharpen their claws on the trunks of trees, which cause them harm.
• Cats go to the toilet not only on the territory of their home, but also at the neighbors they also leave peculiar "tags" in the garden in the form of holes dug in the ground.

Cats can cause a lot of trouble to garden owners

• Since a cat is by nature a predatory animal, it very often hunts mice and birds on its territory. And if getting rid of rodents is a salvation for gardeners, then many birds, on the contrary, try to attract them to their gardens. And cats can not only destroy them, but also proudly bring half-dead prey home.
• Cats love to soak up the sunshine and very often they choose flower beds and garden plants as a place for “rest”, eventually breaking them.

"Fragrant" methods of scaring cats

Before we start looking at the scents that scare cats, we suggest you try a way using the smell that attracts them. This is catnip or catnip. A very beautiful plant that throughout summer period will decorate the site with multicolored buds. Cats just love this smell and will be happy to get settled in a landed cat mint corner: sleep there, nibble the leaves of a plant, etc. And if you add some dry sand there, the cat (most likely) will prefer to go to the toilet in this place, and not in the garden. Kotovnik practically does not require maintenance. Planted in a sunny, dry place, it will overwinter well and will multiply again by self-sowing. In addition, fresh young leaves of catnip can be used as an aromatic flavor additive in soups and salads, and dried - in herbal teas.

There are a number of smells that cats are unpleasant. And this means that you can make the cat "scarers" with your own hands. Consider the most effective of them:

• Some plants will be an excellent deterrent. So, the cat will not go into the garden, in which eucalyptus and lemongrass are planted,. These plants will perform two functions at once: they will decorate your site, because they have a beautiful appearance   and effectively work as a repeller, because cats can not stand their smell. Also Coleus canina or Coleus Canine will be an excellent repeller for cats. It is believed that he publishes an unpleasant smell for cats when touched. This plant is quite heat-loving, so for the autumn-winter period, you should either bring it into the room, or planted again every year.

Some plants will become natural cat scarers.

• A great way to scare away cats is soil mulching with citrus peel, coffee grounds and pipe tobacco. Treat the soil with these products in places that the cat's paws would like to leave intact (between the beds, near flowers or bird feeders, etc.). Cats will not like the smell coming from the soil treated in this way, but it will be very useful for the soil itself, because citruses, tobacco and coffee are able to absorb nitrogen and convert it to oxygen, which supplies the soil.
• If none of the above methods does not help, then you can go to the "heavy weapons": use a special tool to scare cats, which is sold in pet stores. It usually consists of a predator's urine. It will be enough to apply a small amount of this substance around the site and the cat will no longer stick its curious nose.

Council Before you use the “cat repeller” bought in the store for cats, make sure that it does not contain substances harmful to the animal.

Instruction

There are special tools that frighten cats and dogs. Their peculiar smell uninvited guests remember for a long time and try to get around the "offensive" territory.

If you do not want to spend money on a trip to the pet store, try to scare away cats   with the help of improvised means. For example, moisten a few rags with ammonia and scatter on the site. The smell of ammonia cats obviously do not like, so soon will forget the way to your garden. True, for this you will need to spend more than one bottle of ammonia and a considerable amount of old torn fabric.

By analogy with the previous step, you can use vinegar. Dampen some rags in it and leave in different places on the territory. plot. Every day, change the cloth, so that the smell does not lose sharpness.

Scatter fresh orange or lemon peels between the beds. The smell of citrus also does not apply to favorite cat flavors, so should scare them. The only condition is that the crusts should be fresh, as dry ones may well become not a “scarer”, but a toy for inquisitive people. cats.

If uninvited guests began to appear quite recently, try to scare them away with the noise. To do this, put in a tin a few pebbles. As soon as you see someone else's cat on the site, shake the jar sharply.

Get your own cat. He, as the owner, will himself chase away strangers from his territory. And so that he does not have the temptations to defecate in the beds, provide him with a wide tray with always fresh filling.

Cats, like any other predators, have a very delicate sense of smell, they distinguish odors hundreds of times better than humans. This feature can use the owners, if you want to protect some of the apartment from the encroachment of the pet. Of course, the most effective way to protect things from the cat - closed doors, but when this is not possible, you can go for a little trick. It is necessary to make it so that in places prohibited for an animal there is a scent that is unpleasant for the latter.

Before you put the "aromatic barriers" in the apartment, you need to find out what kind of smell cats do not like (all without exception), and which - only your pet. The fact is that the most scaring not only animals, but also people, so prevention must be approached carefully. So, what smell do cats not tolerate and how will it help to keep the apartment safe?

The most terrible fragrance for cats is a fragrant rue (in the photo on the right). It contains essential oilshaving a very unpleasant smell. It is recommended to use the mentioned plant only in the most hopeless cases, since it is also dangerous for people, for example, it can cause allergic reactions.

Food Products:

• Citrus.
• Any seasonings and spices. Leading peppers (ground or pot), fresh garlic, ginger, onions are in the lead.
• Vinegar.
• Some dairy products (this applies to adult cats). The beast may be disgusted with milk, ryazhenka, but at the same time happy to burst cheese.

Some experienced owners advise to sprinkle undesirable places for cats to visit with ground pepper. But, firstly, strong dirt is so divorced, and secondly, this remedy is ineffective due to the fact that the smell quickly disappears.

Here are some other products that have cat smells: chocolate, cinnamon, mint.

They don’t like pet medicine (valerian doesn’t count!), Household chemicals (from bleaching agents), cosmetics, especially nail polishes, perfume with a strong odor. But cats bite natural olive soap for a sweet soul.

But what smell cats absolutely cannot tolerate is alcohol (and not only cats, I must say). Fuming for pets - it's like a hazard indicator: they simply won't fit a person with the smell of alcohol. Cigarette smoke is also unpleasant to animals, but if a cat can start rubbing against a guest who smells of tobacco, it does not show its location to it, but tries to kill the tobacco scent with its smell. True, if the owners smoke, then the animal is most likely already accustomed to it.

How to fool a cat with a smell

Finding out what smell cats do not tolerate, you can proceed to action. Of course, not all of the presented aromas can be used as a deterrent. For example, you cannot use milk. If the pet reacts negatively to citrus fruits, oranges can be decomposed in the forbidden place. True, they quickly dry up, and cats treat a dried peel more than indifferently. The procedure will need to be repeated until the cat becomes accustomed to not being there.

How to protect home plants

A separate item in the strategy of the defense of the apartment from the cat are indoor plants. Cats are very attracted to the smell of the earth, and they are ready to go for any trick to delve into the flower pot. There are many sprays that frighten cats now, but they usually cannot be used to protect domestic plants. In this case, to stop the pet, it is necessary to eliminate the smell of the soil - drape a pot or put shells or pebbles on the surface of the earth.

People do not have such a sensitive sense of smell, like cats, in this regard, it is difficult for them to imagine that pet behavior can be influenced by smells, and this is indeed the case.

Domestic cats, although gentle pets, are by nature predators that nature has adapted so that they can track and catch prey.

Therefore, smells are very important for cats, because the smell of a cat uses no less than sight. Like all animals, cats perceive the world with the help of smells, communicate and differentiate their zone.

Any smells in cats are divided into two types:

• scaring;
• attracting flavors.

If the pet owner wants to teach him to ban, it is necessary to rely on the frightening odors. But certain smells for cats are unpleasant, and they are called “scaring”, they are absolutely not associated with anything scary in animals. Many strong smells for cats are unpleasant because of their sensitive sense of smell, which is why cats try to avoid harsh scents. In this case, cats can not tolerate not only the sharp smell of onions, but also refined perfume. That is, cats are paramount to the power of the smell, and then they realize whether it is disgusting or, on the contrary, pleasant.

To learn how to use smells against your pet's bad habits, you need to follow a simple scheme:

• eliminate existing feline smell;
• use a scare smell at the problem site.

For example, your cat brings a lot of inconvenience to the fact that, and the smell of cat urine is very persistent, you first need to howl the affected area with a special detergent, and then treat it with an unpleasant flavoring for the cat (for example, rub a piece of floor with a damp bulb and leave it). A man in a few hours will not smell the onion, and the cat will stay away from him for several more days. During this time, of course, the owner will have to sort out the problem and understand why the cat marks the territory or the problem to repeat again as soon as the smell of the bow disappears.

With the help of frightening odors, you can solve other problems: damage to sofas, eating household plants and the like. But it is worth considering that you can not save the situation, using only the therapy of smells. If a cat does not offer an alternative solution to the problem, it will still solve them as it used to.

When the cat scratches the sofa, lemon oil helps well. They rub the sofa with oil, but at the same time the cat is offered to use a scraper, which can be not only purchased at the pet store, but also built independently. A cat should understand where it is possible to do its business, and where it is not, since it is impossible to completely forbid an animal to sharpen nails, it will not give up its natural needs.

What smells do cats not like

Cats are deterred by the following smells:

Citrus. Most cats do not tolerate the smell of lemon, it is too sharp and sharp for them. You can decompose the peel of lemon in those places where it is forbidden for a cat to appear or where it arbitrarily arranges a toilet. To increase the effect, it is recommended to chop the peel or grate, it will help to make the smell even stronger. You can use not only the peel, but lemon juice. Juice is most often dissolved in a liquid and sprayed on upholstered furniture or the floor. You can combine lemon juice and essential oil;

Vinegar. This substance has a powerful effect on the cat's nasal mucous membranes. Vinegar is a good means of protection against "unauthorized" toilet. In addition, vinegar interrupts the smell of urine;

Onion. Cats do not tolerate not only the fragrance of onions, but also the volatile production that stands out from it, all this makes the cats stay away from the onions. Of course, to achieve the effect of the bulb must be cleaned and cut or rub. But onions have a significant minus - its smell is not pleasant for the human sense of smell, unlike lemon juice. But this tool is very resistant. A kindred onion - garlic for cats is also not very pleasant, but people, unfortunately, also do not like this smell;

Perfumery. The use of perfumes is a controversial method, since they do not always help, but some cats tolerate the smell of strong perfume as badly as grated onions, that is, the individual preferences of the cat affect the intolerance of the perfume;

Many manufacturers offer special tools, so-called "scares". These funds may have zero or good effect. The cost of specialized means for scaring cats is not low, and home remedies cost almost nothing, while they are always at hand.
