Keeping Cats off my Greenhouse??
    #25610115 - 11/12/18 05:19 PM (6 years, 2 months ago)

We have two very active 9 month old Siamese ragdoll kittens. it's pretty much impossible to keep them off of anything and they climb everything around the house my worry is that they will take an interest in climbing it with their claws and not just putting holes in it but disturbing the stuff inside as well.

I know many of you have cats so how do you keep them away from your projects like a greenhouse? they don't seem to care much about the tubs but I just have a bad feeling about setting up the plastic wrapped Greenhouse...

since it was kind of a weird subject to Google I figured I'd ask you guys here what are your tips or tricks to keep your kitty pals away from your Greenhouse?

Spray bottle. Squirt them adorable rag dolls when they try to fuck with the gh. After awhile they will run just hearing the water swish around.

Your cats are probably highly aware that you don't want them on the GH. Assert your Dominance of the Space in some way. To get through to cats we must think like them.. What would they do to assert dominance.. Put out the vibe that all is NORM while you approach the little shits.... then at the last minute... YOPE THAT MEOW MEOW UP AND PIN IT.... tell em once or twice and then let it be... its an energetic thing...


Cats pick up on our emotions BIG TIME.

Water is helpful... but I would suggest creating the relationship with your cats like you are FUCKING NUMBER 1....

And that they listen...

This is how I have trained my cats. My cats don't even bother me while Im working because they know...

Hide and when they jump on that fucker bang pots and pans together then chase them to their hiding spot. A few of those should do it.

Spray bottle is the only thing my dickhead cat understands.  Even then hell do what he can to piss me off, till the last second.  I think he likes to make me go get the sprayer , and then he runs off.

This is pretty much what I expect. We already lose the battle with trying to keep them off of the counter tops and stove... They practically assault us when we pull out the food bag...

They are just way more persistent than me lol.

I know that cats intensely dislike the smell of citrus maybe I can try something like that to repel them to begin with?  I think out of everything bodhi probably has the best idea but it's totally not guaranteed to work and relies on someone being home to bang the pots which is just as unlikely given that they have all day to f*** around 🙄

Maybe an orange essential oil in water sprayed around the greenhouse and on the greenhouse?

can you imagine the hilarious picture of a green house surrounded by a bunch of rubber snakes and other weird contraptions to deter cats? God i'm stoned as f*** laughing at the thought of it.

Much boy you're right cats just do whatever the hell they want. I guess I'm going to try it and see if they destroy it :shrug:

We use rubber snakes to ward off baboons on our farm. Our cats aren't affected.

Just scare them the moment they touch it. Eventually they will only do it when you are not at home hahaha

Spray bottle worked for me. I have three cats  and one of them used to always try to get to my spawn bags, even chewing up 3 bags once.

They can be very hard to correct. Some cats prefer the attention of punishment over no attention at all. In those cases punishment achieves the opposite.
You could use double sided tape on strategic places. They hate that usually. Or even use PetSafe SSSCAT Spray Two big advantages are that they will not associate the SSScat spray with you (definitely better for the relationship with your cats) and it also works when you are not at home
