Install a motion-activated sprinkler head in the flower garden. The sudden spray of water will frighten the cats off before they urinate. Alternately, use a motion-activated noise device sold to keep birds out of gardens.
Feline Cystitis and Bladder/Kidney Stones. Cystitis and stones are extremely common in the cat and can be very painful and life-threatening. Cystitis can lead to inappropriate urination â urinating outside of the litter box â and stones can cause a fatal rupture of the bladder by blocking the outflow of urine. Any cat that is repeatedly entering the litter box but not voiding any urine is in need of immediate medical attention.
