How to keep my cat from peeing in my plants?

I have 2 cats for starters. I am not sure which one it is and I have been unable to catch them in the act so it makes it hard to correct them. I was more curious if anyone knows anything i can do to keep the cats out of my indoor plants?

    You can depending on the size of the ot, use stones, about three to five inches high, on the soil. I have used bricks on the past too. You can use toothpicks with round edges so they do not hurt the cat's paws. Just enough so the cat cannot get a paw onto the ground - if they reach the ground, they will go.

    Time to re-pot the plants - that urine is so strong it can kill just about anything.

    I had a cat that did that. So I put chicken wire around the inside of the planter, covering the dirt. She didn't like stepping on it at all, and she stopped peeing in it. Hope this helps.

    If peeing your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis

    for some reason cats dont like an orange scent. so spray a fragrance that has orange or citris in it and see if that helps!

    if they arn't fixed, try peeing in/around your plants. That will tell them it is not their territory and to not pee in it

    Source(s): My dad used to do it.

    Well are they boys? Are they fixed? If they arnt fixed, get on it. After boys are fixed they stop peeing :)
