Plant some “Rue”.
Desmond Morris explains in his book “catwatching”, that he rubbed some between his fingers, and let his cat smell it.
The cat yowled immensely, ran out the house, and would not go near him for 2 days.
check with your local green house/garden center. they usually have loads of deterrents for most every kind of animal or creature. and ask them about keeping the cats off of the fence, they probably have great tricks of the trade for that one too.
orange peel. get some and rub it on the to of the fence, the cats won’t go near it.

Cats are territorial and DON’T like the scent of human urine.
It’s up to you how you get urine onto the areas where you don’t want cats.
Male urine is best as it doesn’t contain the hormones which may kill grass and so on.
Good luck.. Chris
They are sensitive to strange smells and some are unpleasant, like Rue (or Ruta graveolens, the full botanical name) as mentioned earlier. Rue lasts for several years, and would be good semi-shaded near your fence. It doesn’t tend to last as long in fertile soil, so put it in bad soil and it should thrive!
I use mothballs, which cost less than a £1 a packet, and the cats hate the smell of these too. Even get a male friend to pee nearby, and this should deter too, especially tom cats.
Good luck! Rob
I’ve been told by my very reliable pet-shop they no longer sell those long range cat repellents that rely on sound as these can also repel cats from their own homes if you have one next door. Now no-one would want to deprive an owner of their loved pet, so that’s O.K with me. However, I find the best repellent is the good old fashioned Jeyes Fluid – They loathe the smell which is quite pleasant and clean to us, and will avoid contact with it, as it attaches to them and ruins their chance of leaving ‘a scent’. You can buy it ‘neat’ in a can and sprinkle it lightly over the top of your fence and greenhouse top, or buy the spray version which is slightly milder but still effective. The same method would apply to your garden furniture – spray that too, and hopefully you won’t have any more hassle with them. Good luck. Jan.
Put grease along the top of the fence. Cats hate this on their paws, and wont climb on the fence anymore. They have good memories of where not to go.
make up a mixture of water and white vinegar and spray the area’s that you want to be rid of cats. i’m sure you don’t want to harm animals so this would be a kind way. everyone happy then
its a bit cruel but mustard works well it burns the pads on their paws its a bit like a human eating hot chillies good luck
put some pigeon spikes on top of your fence they are about 5″ high and put some water bottles around your garden with holes in them so when the cats stand on them the water sqerts them as we all know cats hate water but it is completly harmless to the cats as i would think that you do not want to harm them in anyway and the pigeon spikes should do the trickas they wont cause any harm towards people and the cats but should deter the cats from your fence i hope this is of great help to you as you dont want to be the victim of animal crualty.
