Help! Our cats have started urinating in my large monstera plant. I put large rocks around the plant and sprinkled with cayenne pepper to deter them but they persist. The plant now smells awful and will have to go if I can’t figure out how to get them to stop. Any advice on how to get them to stop and tips on how to remove the urine smell?

Idk about removing the smell, but you can deter them from the plant by covering the dirt part in tin foil!

Thank you! Will  
Give that a try

I used the sticky tape as well on the edge for those little toe beans to touch
