When summer arrives we like to spend more times in our gardens than ever, but keeping them thriving isn't always easy. Humans aren't the only ones that love spending time in nature, and sometimes you might spot a cat or two exploring the backyard.
While having cats in gardens can be helpful in keeping other creatures like rabbits, voles and moles away, it can also be a nuisance for homeowners who spend so much time attending to their plants, flowers and lawns. Pets may start digging in flower beds, use plants as soft napping spots - or even use them as their very own toilet.
Keeping them out of the garden and protecting your plants can be very tricky, but there are things you can do to help.
