Ok another question for my esteemed colleagues. How do I keep my outdoor cats from using my newly planted flower beds as their litter box??? I know I can put some type of landscape gravel around the roses and peonies in that flower bed but what about my other flower bed that I plan to put big bright flowers such as oriental poppies, coreopsis, etc???? Any ideas (other than getting rid of my kitties) you can come up with for this potential problem??? Are there flowers that repel cats?? Is there a ground cover I can use to keep them out?? HELP!! I don't want to put all this money, time, and effort in only to have it all destroyed by my kitties.
