Cats will walk on chicken wire, electric fencing is jumped over or scooted underneath. Everything else is way too much money to spend on keeping cats out of gardens. Easiest, cheapest, and least harmful is apple cider vinegar sprayed where you do not want cats, dogs, or other critters. I live in the country, have nice gardens all around the yard. I spray apple cider vinegar mixed with water every where I do not want animals to be. It works, it is cheap, and non toxic to animals, plants, or self.
There doesn’t seem to be any end to the usefulness of apple cider vinegar. I’ll have to try that.
