Try covering every area of ground that you want to be cat-free with thick, thorny brambles.  It works.

Please don't use Jeyes Fluid anywhere.   It contains phenols (tar oils)  that are fatally poisonous to all cats.  The same phenols are found in creosote too. The cat can absorb Jeyes/creosote through it's skin, there's no need for the animal to ingest it orally.  It can cause the animal a prolonged and painful death from liver failure and eventually multiple organ failure.

If you need to weatherproof your sheds and fences use modern creosote free products, there are plenty available.

Coleus canina (‘scaredy-cat plant’)

Annual foliage –not very pretty but can be effective as a deterrent to cats and apparently to foxes and dogs. This plant used to be sold under the name of ‘pee-off plant’ but is now apparently sold as ‘scaredy-cat plant’ due to its abilities to deter cats. It gives off a smell that repels cats and also foxes and dogs but it only detectable to humans when the leaves are crushed and even then is only a mild smell to us.

Thompson & Morgan (01787 884141; www.thompson-morgan.com) sell young plants (5 plants @ £7.99) and recommend they are planted in dry-ish soil about 75cm apart. The plants do flower but must be propagated from cuttings which can be over-wintered in a cool greenhouse.
