Although Jane relies on this trick, it's important to note that not all cats respond to vinegar, as some cats aren't as bothered by the strong smell.

It is also said that these animals do not respond to all types of vinegar in the same way.

lion droppings

"Leave the poor foxes alone, we've destroyed most of their habitat and now they're forced to raid our villages, like cats, I hear lion poop pellets are good," wrote Julie Harris.

Lesley Logan supported the idea: " Tiger or lion poop on Amazon works."

According to pestsbanned.com, "Lion droppings can keep cats away, but it has never been shown to be 100% effective.

"Like most cat repellents, lion poo is the one to try to see if it works for the cat you're trying to deter."

Other plants to add to your green space are pennyroyal and rue.

If nothing else works, there are also cat repellents on the market that mimic the smell of predator urine; However, make sure the product is non-toxic and organic so it doesn't trap wild plants or animals.
