I'm sure someone will come up with another method but for now, try picking up this plant to do the trick!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Go to the Richters.com website to find a plant called "Piss-Off Plant" (sorry, but that's its real name!): http://richters.com/Web_store/web_store.cgi?product=X4490&cart_id=9034474.14754
Step 2

Order enough live plants to have one for every three feet of flowerbed or garden that you need to protect.
Step 3

When the live plants arrive, plant several of them in your flowerbeds to keep cats and other furry creatures away!
Step 4

ALTERNATIVE/ADDITIONAL MEASURES: We also plant catnip plants in an area of the yard or garden that we are willing to sacrifice to the cats. They are drawn to the catnip area (even after the catnip is destroyed by them) for long enough that it becomes familiar to them, and if it is a nice area, they will tend to claim it as their new lounging spot. It helps if you pamper them in that spot, such as by laying down a nice cushion for them to enjoy.
