Re: Cat using Banana plant pots AS!
One of my indoor kitties has never gotten over his love of dirt to potty in, so any plants I have inside are fair game as far as he's concerned. I don't want to give him "hot foot" with pepper or to use chemicals, and orange peels never phased him, so I've gone the angle of just trying to make sure he can't get access into the pots to begin with. In my case, I dug around and found some old wood broom handles, yard sticks, etc., and criss-crossed them over the sea of large banana pots in the basement at angles that don't allow him any room to hop in and, for the smaller pots in a back bedroom, I took the cheap plastic slats I'd pulled out of old windowshades (I replace them with wood dowels), broke them into pieces, and stuck several pieces per pot down in the dirt at angles that, again, don't allow him access to hop in. In both cases, it still allows me to water easily.
While you can't blame them for wanting to potty where it feels "natural", I know it can be frustrating to deal with, so best of luck whatever you try.
