Cats in the garden! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!
We have three cats (after stating there would never be more than one)
Planted a few things last weekend and it has been dry
Went up a bit ago to water.
Part of my garlic dug up and some peas.
Shooting is a considered option.
Disappearing them is another
But my daughter would have a problem with that.
Any suggestions?

ground Cayenne pepper or mothballs...

Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing....only I will remain"

night driver, do I just toss out the mothballs randomly?
Will they do any harm to the ground or plants?

You are positive its the cats? I have a continual problem with crows pulling up my onions and garlic unless I cover them with screening material or row covers until they are well established. My cats have rolled in the catnip bush, but nothing else in the garden.

Start making cat emulsion. Works just as well as fish emulsion, but makes your garden smell like a spinster's house instead of a cannery.

Mothballs are toxic. Try using a cayenne pepper mixture:
2 parts cayenne pepper
3 parts dry mustard
5 parts flour
Simply mix together and sprinkle.

The same fence netting that keeps out the deer will keep out the cats...seriously, it's not expensive. The metal posts are pretty spendy but nothing says you have to use those.

I had a problem with my neighbors cat getting into my garden beds and doing its business. I set several mouse traps in the cats favorite spot and after a few days the cat decided to move along. I actually watched as the cat squatted over one of the traps and when the pooper landed on it the trap went off. The look of initial confusion was priceless. The cat was no worse for the wear = it had already been fixed. Better than shooting it.

Our neighbors laid wire fencing (2"x4" spacing) over their new raised beds. I haven't asked, I assume it was because most of the households here seem to own at least one outdoor cat.

You are positive its the cats?
Seen with my own little eyes.
Well, in the beds, anyway.
Not sure about digging up the stuff
