I was wanting to know if there was a natural product that would deter cats without harming them. Like a natural cat repellent spray or similar?

I use chili powder (can be bought at any store in the spice isle). I sprinkle it on my yard because I have the same problem with my neighbors 5 cats! I like cats but I don’t like them that much. When you sprinkle chili on your yard and the cats sniff the ground getting ready to do their ‘business’ it stings their sinuses, deterring them from using your yard. Try it out it can work. Best of luck
A great big dog!
a gun
a natural remedy would be is to get a dog. dogs would really not harm them.
Try pure ammonia around the area. It keeps dogs away from the trash so it may work on cats. They can’t stand the smell or it burns their nose. I’ve had problems with strays walking on my car. Hate those footprints right after my hard work washing and waxing…grrrrrrrrrr!!
How about an actual litterbox? You can put a little neon "Transient" sign on it.
My dad used to spray our porch and other areas with ammonia to deter them. Also, I have heard that a mix of vinegar and water will deter them some.
Try moth balls sprinkled around the yard. They hate the smell and will stay away from it.
Cayenne pepper may work
My neighbor’s cat was using my kids sandbox as his personal toilet. I didn’t want to use cat repellent spray because of the smell and the possible chemicals in my kids sandbox. So I found a motion activated sprinkler that does a great job of keeping the cats away. For more info go to other Keeping Stray Cats Out Your Yard
