Meron po kaming kapitbahay na may pusa at tuwing gabi ay natae sa bakuran namin. Ang baho naman po ng tae kasi sa tapat pa ng bintana namin natae at di niya pa po tinatabunan. Nagagalit na po si mama sa kakalinis ng bakuran dahil nga po sa nag dudumi ang pusa. May paraan po ba kayo para di na po talunin ng pusa yung bakuran namin at tumae
 
Use scent to keep the cats away
  • Cats dislike the smell of rue, lavender and pennyroyal, Coleus canina and lemon thyme. Plant a few of these throughout the garden. (Interplanting can attract pollinators and other beneficial insects too.)
  • Cats steer clear of strong citrus scents. Throw peels directly onto garden soil.
  • Sprinkling brewed coffee grounds over the soil may also help. Get free big bags (two kilograms) from most local coffee shops!
  • The scent of human hair is said to deters cats. Empty your brushes onto the garden and reclaim your territory! (Avoid mothballs; they’re toxic to cats and humans.)
  • Commercial cat repellents copy the smells of predator urine. It’s advertised as non-toxic and organic, said not to harm plants.
Wash up to deter garden cats
If your visitor has a favourite location, wash the area well with a hose (or water from your rain barrel) to remove the scent or urine spray. Boost your cleaning with eco-friendly liquid castile soap on doors, patio furniture, etc. Cats tend to choose the same spot repeatedly, so remove their previous claim to your garden to prevent repeat offences.

Fences
Create a barrier with wire-mesh fencing. Most recommend at least 1.8 metres high and 5.1 by 5.1 centimetre squares. An overhang makes it even better.

Water
A gentle misting with water from a spray bottle can help cats break the positive association with your garden. Motion-activated sprinkler systems can keep cats away, too. Just make sure you remember when they are on and obey guidelines during summer water shortages.

Sound
Try wind chimes, motion-sensitive bells or even rocks or pebbles in a jar that rattle when kitty comes near. There are also motion-activated devices and, in the case of ultrasound devices, emit a frequency that cats can’t stand but is inaudible to humans.
