I have introduced you all to Ginger. She is a great, playful kitten. Her mom is an outside cat, so she had never been indoors until she came to live with us. Over the weekend, when the house was full of people for Brandi's birthday, she got outside a few times. I think it was too crazy for her in here. Since then, she hasn't tried to get out at all.
From day one, she used the litter box. I was a little worried since she was used to going outside, but she took to it right away.
This morning, I was walking down my hallway, and smelled something a little funny. After following my nose, I found the source of the smell. My beautiful plant.
It seems Ginger has been pooping in the soil in the pot.
This is where I need your help.
How do I break her from this?
My hubby suggested moth ball powder, but that will stink, and I don't know if it is safe for my plant.
Any ideas?

I had a cat do that in the past. I bought an inexpensive piece of plastic needlepoint canvas (available at any craft shop) and cut it the shape of the pot and a hole in the middle for the plant and laid it on top of the dirt. This stopped the cat.
I'm with Lynne. Once they find a Happy Spot...they keep returning. Good luck with That sweetie!!hughugs
I can;t say it would work for plants, but the spray that we've been using for the Christmas tree sure has been working at keeping them away. I don't know if it would work for regular plants or not. We got it at the pet store.
You will get absolutely no help from me. Never had a cat growing up... my mom is afraid of them, she actually used to have a recurring dream about getting clawed by them. seriously. Then me and my husband had our Bailey (poodle) who is no longer with us. And now we have a Hamster. He is cute. Except he throws his poop out of his cage. I am serious about that too. Every morning I have a little pile of his poop to clean up. Yes...this is my life..lol. Anyway, good luck with it.
I use tinfoil to make a cover for the soil.
moth balls should work, but even better, get rid of the plant which gets rid of the temptation. Moth balls are worth a try!
