Just caught our cat laying on top of some seedlings at the window in our bedroom. The curtain is always drawn closed. Is there something to place there that will repel him? He sneeks in all the time and use to sleeping on the bed.

Some kind of short spikes stuck in the seed tray should deter him.

I saw the SSScat spray on youtube, have not used that since my Tikoy does not bother my plants..yet...

Cocoa bean bark shells. It dosent keep cats out of garden, but it keeps cats from doing there duties in garden. If you have an indoor cat, it might work. I'd go for the spikes though.

If you have any plastic forks (picnic supplies) just stick them in the tray with the tines facing up. I have them in my pots outside to deter the squirrels from digging in there. Works pretty well except for the one smart squirrel who figured out how to pull a fork out and throw it away.

It's the cats home you are privileged that the cat allows you to live their.

You can train most cats to not bother plants. A spray bottle, small caliber hand gun. I raise about 2 dozen kittens each year, I just move the plants, the adult cats have learned not to chew on anything within my eyesight.

I find that cats are "trained" only as long as I am watching.

It's also the same with dogs. They will try to get away with things when we're not watching.

Our cat in always in our apt. Why cause our neighbors to suffer
Our section of a plot is a few miles away in a Community Garden.

Sorry I needed a good laugh. If you video tape him doing that, it may go viral. I watch the animal vid's in the News section of Roku every morning.
I have the plastic forks, lets hope my cat is not as smart as that squirrel.

True > I have in the past been able to train cats with several trusty blue spray bottles. One in each room. But this adopted one has been very challenging. If he sees he's about to be squirted, he'll do whatever he was going to do, in the first place-super-fast, then dash off before I can even shoot.
