Homemade Citrus Spray as a Cat Deterrent

Cats seem to live in their own world at times and can be downright stubborn when it comes to getting their own way. Sharing your home with a cat can be challenging when your feline friend decides to make a piece of furniture a scratching post or finds alternative places to relieve himself. Using citrus spray as a repellent will not only deter the cat but also leave a fresh smell in your home.
