| For outdoor cans, use tight-fitting lids.
Indoors, keep the garbage bag in a closed space.

| A couple of things help. There is a garbage-bin liner called GOOD SCENTS,
with a lemon odor. It tends to discourage cats and dogs without causing
them harm.
Also, there may be reasons kitty's going into the garbage. Sometimes
a dietary deficiency causes them to look for supplements. Sometimes
something with a redolent odor attracts them. Sometimes they're looking
for something to play with.

| Ah! Good idea! Cats are known for *hating* anything that has citrus flavor
or smell.

| So much for that theory.... I've got a cat that will drink my orange
juice if I don't keep an eye on my glass.

| I keep my garbage in a bag in the freezer. When it's full I bury it
wrapped in foil in the bottom of my trash! Sometimes they find it anyway
sometimes they don't. I find that they "play" with it more than eat it.
Citrus smells detract some cats and attracts others. I have three. I know!

| You could try spraying or dousing it with either a commercial cat repellent
or one of the things that you have found they don't like. Try and experiment
with a few things always keeping an eye on the materials that can harm the
cat. A good cat book should have a list (see the note on such books).

| 85.7 | Moth balls are a good repellent. | CTOAVX::DUSZAK | | Tue May 31 1988 12:09 | 9 |
| Moth balls also are known to keep animals away from things. Just
sprinkle them around where you want protection. For a while I would
come home and find my cat on our yellow velvet fireside chair.
If that kept up, the chair would have been a mess, so I sprinkled
moth balls on the chair for a week or two and it broke the cat from
going there. They are also good to put around your outside garbage
cans, if you are having a problem with animals trying to get into
them.

| once again, moth balls can be dangerous to cats.
