Black pepper worked for a while on my cat but it has the side
effect of not absorbing water (I've heard quite a few people
suggest it works as an adequate replacement for radiator stop
leak). I put it very heavily on one plant (non-CP) to try to stop
my cat from digging in it, and now when I water the plant, the
water takes a very long time to seep into the soil and the soil
looks a little funky. This may be OK with you but I didn't like
it. Personally I'd go for the chili pepper spray or perhaps a
spray made of rotten eggs which I've heard discourages deer
appetites quite well.
Doesn't anyone here follow rec.pets.cats? Surely this must've
come up.
