Hello, I'm not looking to spend a lot of money, so the Scarecrow Sprinkler isn't an option. Could someone please suggest a cheap alternative? What about a sensor activated silent whistle or something?
Cats in Flower Bed

What about keeping your cat indoors.
Thorny branches, sweetgum balls, rue, chicken wire, etc. I use the pruned rose branches under my laceleaf maple tree.
They are not my cats ;-)

I hate rose bushes, probably more than cats! What are sweetgum balls and rue? It's too late to use chicken wire.
Most cats don't like citrus, so I save up my old orange peels (in the freezer) and when I get enough of them, I thaw them out and whir them up in the blender with a little water and pour the solution around the area where I don't want the cats. You have to re-apply from time to time, but it seems to work. Also on newly planted beds, the chicken wire works well, as someone else suggested. Hope this helps
