I would recommend, that, you buy toothpicks. Then, you, simply stick them in the soil. Make sure, that, the cat can see some of the toothpicks and others, that, he can feel, since, they are buried or at least partially buried, in the soil That should deter your domestic cat. Another idea, that, you could try, is, putting orange or lemon scented items (sprays on a cloth or the actual plant pot dirt) and see if, that, deters your cat. You could also try, putting actual pieces of Orange and Lemon on the soil itself. I have also herd of, people, using month balls. But, I am not sure, how, safe that is for the cat or the plant. So, I would say, use good judgement, if/when, you try that idea.
That, would be the simplest solution. Plus, the most athletically pleasing. Great idea
